Shootout @ the crumbling corral

Rating: 6/10 (27 May 2007)

Enemy @ The Gates-the pivotal battle of WW2 European theater- brutal,gruesome,thousands dead- and Hollywoood managed to sammich in a love story-wtf? Jude Law is a sniper who learned his craft hunting wolves on the frozen tundra- he is a foot solidier dropped into the insanity of Stalingrad- he manages to survive the initial battle and is left for dead- he meets a political officer(Joe Fiennes) for the USSR- he is seen killing off several Nazis- and turned into a propaganda hero.He does so well the Nazis bring in Ed Harris to have a shootout in the middle of this siege.Also Joey Fiennes & Jude Law both fall for Rachel Wiesz- OK I know Hollywood did not need to remake Stalingrad (which was brutal sad and hard to watch) - but a love story in Stalingrad-yeesh C+
