Enemy at the Gates

Enemy at the Gates

(2001)

DON'T LISTEN TO THIS GUY. THIS IS A GREAT WAR MOVIE WITH A KRUSHEV LOOK ALIKE AND AMAZING COMBAT SCENES, AS GOOD AS ANY, AND VERY ORIGINAL. WE SEE TWO SOLDIERS SENT INTO COMBAT WITH ONLY ONE GUN. THE SECOND ONE IS TO PICK UP THE GUN WHEN THE OTHER FALLS. RETREATERS ARE SHOT. WAR IS HELL. THIS MOVIE IS AS GOOD AS IT GETS.
In the midst of the siege of Stalingrad, two snipers—an innocent Red Army peasant from the Urals (Jude Law)
and an aristocratic Nazi deer hunter (Ed Harris)—stalk each other in the mucky ruins. With Joseph Fiennes as a hack Party intellectual
who makes the Soviet sharpshooter a national hero and Rachel Weisz as a brave Red Army girl The composer James Horner does an imitation of
Shostakovich, Next time use the original. Or or should I just fuck mytself.
