Well...

Rating: Null/10 (18 November 2001)

This film should be a fresh one for Americans, for they are so much isolated to Communism. However, 'fresh' doesn't mean that it's 'good'. What should I say? The film is not bad, and it is too far away from perfection. The story itself already leaves a lot to be desired. I don't think a Tania is necessary, and she is in fact so redundant that it makes the film stupid: why should there be a girl between Jude and Joseph? I would rather had the film concentrated on the war. That love story is so cheesy! Also, I am not so happy with the historical inaccuracy, which is in my opinion an important element of a war-film. However, on the whole, the film is still quite okay. I like the cinematographic work particularly. 7 out of 10.
