Superb war thriller! Will live in film history forever.

Rating: 10/10 (30 July 2002)

This is one of the better war movies that I have ever seen. In Russian in 1942, the Russians are fighting to keep the Germans from taking over the city of Stalingrad. Under the leadership of Khruschev (Bob Hoskins), the country will fight for freedom. But one man, Vissili Zaitsev (Jude Law), who -thanks to his best friend Danilov (Joseph Fiennes)- has become a famous Russian sniper known for being able to get any man. But when the Germans dispatch Major Konig (Ed Harris) to kill him, the two begin a dangerous game of cat-and-mouse in the burning city. Rachael Weisz and Ron Perlman also star.
I can understand that since this is an American movie, that the language would be English, but otherwise it would most likely be Russian and German. This film smashed at the box-office and is one of the most triumphant war movies ever. Also recommend would be BLACK HAWK DOWN and WE WERE SOLDIERS.

ENEMY AT THE GATES: 5/5.
