Stalingrad (2013)
Directed by Fedor
Bondarchuk this Russian film stars Pytor Fyodorov, Dmitriy Lysenkov,
Alexey Barabash and Maria Smolnikova. During the battle of Stalingrad
in World War 2 a rag tag group of Soviet soldiers try to defend the
apartment of a young woman.
This is not a historic
film in the vein of The Longest Day (1962) but more of a fictional
action film set within real events. The plot is fairly standard but
at times events push towards the excess of action more in the style
of John Woo and the plot favours a Michael Bay over the top melodrama
at times. What the film does have going for it is some nice visuals
and effects even if the plot and style are less than sensible at
times.
3/5
