- Synopsis:
'1917' meets 'Hacksaw Ridge', 'The Final Stand' is a gripping and hard hitting WWII thriller based on the unbelievable true story of the heroic military stand outside Moscow in 1941. This historical action epic follows a group of Russian soldiers who were deployed to the front line, to fight alongside units from the Soviet Army in a bid to defend Moscow against the onslaught of the Nazi advance. Hopelessly outnumbered, thousands of young men bravely put their lives on the line in a battle that lasted almost two long weeks. With almost 3,500 deployed to hold up the last line of defence as the onslaught of Nazi soldier moved in, most never returned. This is the story of their honour, bravery, courage and true camaraderie. - Actors:

Russian Patriotic 2020 WWII Film, with B-Movie Over-acting + slow motion fights etc - The Final Stand review by PV
This film does what many Russian films do.
It is full of patriotism/nationalism, which seems quite deliberate these days, especially as one main character is from Kherson in Ukraine (liberated from Russians on 11/11/22). Was USSR yes, but... Made by nationalistic Russians and nationalistic Russians.
Then the massive overacting - very theatrical, facial expressions with bulging eyes, waving arms etc. Not natural at all. Then the attempts at action movie martial arts type fighting, lots of slow motion footage, lots of explosions so not a cheap film to shoot for sure. Amateurish and old-fashioned.
The main problem here though is lack of character development - too many characters and none one can really feel for, which means when any get attacked or are in danger, as a viewer you don't really care.
Watchable for the explosions. 2 stars
