A Hidden gem

Rating: 8/10 (11 October 2001)

Enemy at the gates is one of those films that is not massive box office material and was not heavily promoted when released , which makes it all the more of a treat when watching it. i wasnt expecting to much and what i got was a joy. Enemy at the gate feels like a low production film while still look superb and that is no critisism. The film revolves around a young Russian sniper who becomes a hero for killing many German officers in the fight to save Stalingrad. Because of the impact of these assisinations the Germans send their best Sniper to try and Kill the Russian.It sounds like a good story and it is. Good performances from Jude law and Ed Harris ad to this compelling movie. 8 out of 10.
