I didn't expect much from this - I find most Russian films tiresome and slow, and often distastefully nationalistic.
But this movie at least shows the awfulness of Soviet soldiers though no rape - which they did aplenty in revenge in Berlin etc. But it shows how extreme and brutal some were.
Anyway, it has some slow moments but is relatively exciting and original, though very old-fashioned - like Sam Pekinpah, complete with slow-motion bloody death throes shots. As per usual, dramatic emotional classical music over it too.
If you don't like blood and gore and everyone dying violently, avoid this.
It's like a Russian Dirty Dozen and very violent.
Watchable, so 4 stars.
