Embarrassingly Bad

Rating: Null/10 (22 May 2001)

Despite its excellent cast, "Enemy at the Gates" is a real mess and can only be "enjoyed" for its surreal miscasting (Bob Hoskins plays a manic Khrushchev with a cockney accent and bizarre warts all over his face while Ed Harris as a Nazi sniper is the only German in the film with an unmistakable American accent !)
It's one of those films that you wish was just a tiny bit worse because then it would be howlingly funny and entertaining. As it stands, it's agonizing to sit through
