A Bore from the gate

Rating: Null/10 (2 April 2001)

Hello all,
Having read the book "War of the Rats" I was excited to see the trailer on TV which was obviously a theatrical version of the same story.
However, the film's depiction of the sniper encounters had none of the tension or intrigue of the book. And the heavy propaganda plot line was tedious and tiresome. Granted, the sniper showdown was likely a Soviet propaganda ploy, but it carried too much weight here in my opinion.
Many have complained here about the British accents, so I won't belabor that point. Except to say it cheapened the experience for me somewhat.
Ed Harris was a bright spot. But for me this ranks toward the bottom of the list in the WWII genre.
