The Story was true, the Movie was fiction!

Rating: 2/10 (2 March 2005)

Iregardless of what the author tells you above, this was a TRUE story and first appeared in Military History Magazine years before. I find it offensive to take the names of the actual soldiers and dishonor them with such PURE OUTLANDISH FICTION! The action scenes in the movie were great, some of the best I had ever seen, and the story about every 3rd Russian Soldier receiving a rifle WAS true. What is sad is the fact this could have been a great movie if the truths had been told.
Spending money to produce a story like this is like buying a PORSCHE to impress your friends. The car looks great but the wheels have been removed! GO FIGURE!
