Good war movie.

Rating: 8/10 (28 October 2001)

"Enemy at the Gates" is a good change of pace for war movies. Instead of making a setting of Americans/British vs the Germans or Italians, this one takes a look at what was happening between the Soviet Union and the Germans. Stalingrad was also a good choice. The writer could also have chosen Leningrad as well which was just a brutal. This movie gave the audience different look as how the war was fought on the Soviet side. How much of it is true and not completely sure. However, the tactics that were used by the Soviets seemed accurate.
The sniper warfare of Stalingrad was also accurate. However, the duel did not occur the way it was depicted in the movie, it was a little more complicated than that. I am also sure they were never close enough to see each others faces without looking through the gun sight as it was depicted in the end. All in all, the movie was entertaining did not fail to keep my interest. The love story could have been a little better or it could have been eliminated completely. The film would not have suffered much if it had been eliminated.
Overall, this one is worth seeing, (8 out of 10).
