tense action flick

Rating: Null/10 (21 September 2002)

I am a martial artist. Being one, I know that a battle is 99 percent psychological. As such, I enjoyed watching the duel between Vasili and Major Koenig, two snipers, portrayed in this movie. The waiting between shots was anxiety-provoking. The snipers used various tactics to attempt to lure the other out and expose weakness. While the ending of the movie is predictable early on, it is nonetheless enjoyable to watch. I think that Vasili's skill might have been a bit exaggerated. He seemed rather super-human. I've read on some websites that his legend may be Russian propaganda. Whether or not this is true is debatable. Until next time.
