About this movie

It's 1942 and the German and Russian armies are embroiled in one of the most momentous battles of WW2, the Battle of Stalingrad. Defeat at Stalingrad could hand Germany victory in Europe and Stalin has sent Kruschev (Bob Hoskins) to personally oversee the city's defence. In another corner of the city Danilov (Joseph Fiennes), a political officer, encounters Vassili Zaitsev (Jude Law), a simple soldier from the Urals who possesses an extraordinary skill, he is a first-class shot with an iron will. Danilov realises that Zaitsev could be moulded into exactly what Kruschev needs in order to boost troop morale. 2001 MP Film Management DOS Productions GmbH & Co.

Ratings and reviews

Very good film, gives an insight to what life was like in the city in WW2, effects are good, plenty of action, and again critics pan it. ( Its just a film).

Fantastic "cat and mouse" story showing the heroism of a brilliant Russian sniper defending Stalingrad against the Nazis. Definitely worth watching.

Great special effects rest of the movie - SUCKS!!! 😟👎
