Involving war melodrama

Rating: 7/10 (13 March 2001)

"Enemy at the Gates" is an involving war melodrama which takes place in Russia during World War 2. There is an old-fashioned romance tacked on but it is very modern with a non-nude long simulated sex scene. There is very graphic war violence. Photography and special effects are excellent. Acting is good but some of the actors normal accents are jarring. GRADE is "B".
