An awful film

Rating: 1/10 (4 April 2010)

This was a film of indescribable twaddle that had the Titanic-effect written large all over it - a soppy love story written in to what could have been a good tale, with a dollop of jealousy thrown in - all as a sop to American audiences who do not wish to see heroism, skill and bravery from anyone but their own. And there is a fair amount of anti-Communist propaganda, to boot - and that should keep American audiences cheering, too.
A lousy film, and the soppy ending just about capped it. In any case, from what I've read, Zaitsev and Tanya Chernova did not get on, he believing she was responsible for the deaths of several fellow-snipers.
I wonder if the Americans can resist re-making it in a few years time.
