Fine production material but not much drama.

Rating: 5/10 (6 June 2020)

Though I am very interested in the history of World War II and its biggest incidents and battles, sadly Enemy at the Gates did not live hot to my expectations of a noteworthy adaptation of the Battle of Stalingrad.
Jude Law is a fine actor, as are notable additions: Joseph Fiennes, Rachel Weisz and Ed Harris. Though some top cast movies can fall flat and sadly I believe this is one of them.
There is enough production material from the rubble of Stalingrad to make this movie watchable, as well as soldier customs and weapons for props, but there is not enough drama as the story flows, to make Enemy At the Gates a worthwhile WWII adaptation.
Also, with the limited number of snipers featured in the movie, Enemy At the Gates comes across as disappointing as the actual history involved multiple sniper regiments and many high class snipers. So, it is unfortunate to say that Jude Law plays a an excellent sniper fighting a one-man war through the rubble of Stalingrad, with no sign of many other snipers.
