04/26/2020 Realistic depiction of life in Brest before and after brutal Nazi invasion of Brest, Belarus. Intense war scenes shown along with incredible acts of bravery. I did not think it was a propaganda movie. There were some very memorable characters and relationships. Reminded me of the movie Warsaw. See more 01/18/2020 Simply one of the greatest war movies I have ever seen. So realistic. Emotional. Real. Must see.

One of many excellent contemporary Russian movies and one of the best WWII movies of the last decade.

The Panzer 3s even look like real Panzer 3s (I checked the tread wheels). It's the story of a Russian fort that is surrounded in the early days of the Nazi invasion of Russia. It's sort of like a Russian Alamo. Maybe because it was made in Belarus (as opposed to Hollywood), it's a pretty straight telling of the story with minimal melodramatic BS added. See more 03/22/2018 A gripping film that details the doomed heroism of the Red Army defenders of the Brest fortress. It is especially interesting as it shows the political context , the role of the NKVD as a military unit not just political overseers. If you just like war films, and can cope with subtitles, then watch this great film. If you are also interested in politics you will get an added dimension. Yes there is a pr opoganda element but no one can doubt the heroism of the military and civilian defenders who resisted so bravely, for so long.

The level of gore is definitely enough to satiate your WW2 inner demon, and the epic historical realism was astounding as well (like the machine gunning and piling up of thousands of civilians and soldiers alike). This is definitely a movie that must be watched if you enjoy WW2 cinema. A++ See more Read all reviews
