better than I expected it to be

Rating: 7/10 (15 October 2001)

One aspect of Enemy at the Gates I liked was how a so-called "Hollywood" film (i.e. Mandalay and Paramount) that concerns itself with WWII didn't focus on the American involvement. Refreshing for that. But again, this is what one should expect from a fine film-maker like Annaud and an insightful writer like Alain Godard. Godard is, I think, one to watch; hopefully his work will, in the future, only get better.
