Solid but slightly disappointing

Rating: Null/10 (12 October 2002)

As war movies go, Enemy at the Gates looked promising: a great cast, solid directing and visual effects. However, at least for this viewer, the acting seemed wooden, which I can only put down to an at times forced script. Perhaps the not so subtle political commentary about Stalin's regime and the almost obligatory love story come triangle irked me as cliche. 'Titanic' on the Volga, or 'Pearl Harbor' for the proletariat?
