This was a wonderful film about a small group of Soviet scouts behind German lines in the spring of 1944. The film was in Russian Dolby sound with Russian language subtitles available. I cannot speak Russian and had to go to a website (no URL's in reviews, sorry) and look up the subtitles there. I hope Amazon lets me get away with this plug, but it is a useful tool to a movie watcher. I downloaded the English translation of the subtitles and watched the movie twice. Once while pausing it to read subtitles off of my computer monitor, and once again after having read the subtitles and knowing what was being said.
It was well worth it. This is no "Hollywood" movie. It is a true story of courage and sacrifice. There is no plastic 'Hollywood' ending. There is the real ending. The one that really happened.
As a combat veteran I give this movie two thumbs up. It doesn't have that 'hollywood' feeling to it. Download the subtitles if you can't speak Russian. It is worth it. You will understand the terrible thing that is war a little better after you watch this.
