All in all pretty good

Rating: 8/10 (26 December 2004)

This movie is quite good, but it lacks some historical reality. One mistake is that the movie says the Russian Vassili Zaitzev poached wolves in the Ural foothills. The truth is that he hunted deer.
A second mistake is that they say the German Major's(although he was really a colonel)name was Konig. His real name was colonel Heinz Thorwald.
But there is some truth in the movie. For example, he was accompanied by a political instructor/officer named Danilov, and the German was hiding under a sheet of metal.
8 out of ten
