A great presentation of a patriot and a soldier

Rating: 9/10 (16 November 2009)

A great hero of the history has been portrait in a great manner. From frame one to end, a character has been shown developing. Cinematography is very well done throughout the movie. Ed Harris has portrait the character excellently, showing his mettle in every shot.
Throughout the movie, the one on one situation of the lead characters is a great showcase of the director's class.
The movie is purely WAR, but still its a story of a character. Portraying wars are tough job, and I must say Director: Jean-Jacques Annaud has done a great job.
War heroes are always been a great subject, but really doing justice to them is a tough job on a celluloid. But director has done a great job. Attempting such a name like Vassili Zaitsev from the history is really great.
