A very realistic war movie depicting the carnage at Stalingrad. Despite the unnecessary drag on the plot by Jude Law's romancing, the battle scenes and sniping suspense is kept to a high standard. Gabriel Marshall-Thomson's character of Sacha, the boy runaround/boot polisher, who serves both the Russians and the Germans was playing a dangerous game and I'm not surprised he came to a sticky end. (How could Ed Harris have done such a thing?)I had never seen this boy actor before. I'm sure Krushchev was not quite the villain shown nor did the Russian army shoot it's own retreating soldiers.

I was shocked at the end when Sacha met his demise!
