Could have been so much better

Rating: Null/10 (26 August 2001)

What can I say about Enemy at the Gates? Great trailer, average film.
Why didn't the actors put on a Russian accent? They sounded stupid. Jude Law was terrible. He looked like a child at a theme park, rather than someone in the middle of a bloody war . Rachel Weisz was useless as usual. The dialogue was poor and so was the music.
What it boils down to is that the idea behind the story could not sustain a film. Two men hiding and waiting for the other to make a mistake does not make for entertaining viewing. It was hardly a cat a mouse game as expected.
Other than that, everything was okay. Whatever you do, don't watch it expecting it to be a classic war film, because you'll be hugely disappointed.
