Great Movie!

Rating: Null/10 (11 August 2002)

This is the only movie I have seen this summer and it is a fantastic movie. It might appeal more to those who followed the Cold War history of the 60's and 70's before the fall of the Soviet Union but I think anyone who likes drama will enjoy this movie. There are times you will be sitting on the edge of your seat and your stomach will tighten up.
As a former Air Force Intelligence Specialist it brought back memories of the Cold War to me when sometimes we stood toe to toe with the Russians on the brink of a nuclear holocaust. However, we see this movie from the Russian side and the Americans are only a sidelight to the movie.
The comraderie of men in uniform, dedication to duty, a willingness to die for one's country, etc. and, in this case, engaged in a life and death true experience makes it one hell of a movie. I do not think you will be disappointed.
