Cliched, empty, typical modern russian movie
This is one of modern Russian movies made for the lowest common
denominator. The plot and character motivations are over-the-top
explained as if makers of the movie was very afraid someone at the very
lowest end of intelligence scale will not understand everything. The
main character is not likable and her background or motivations for
being extremely reserved and grim person is never explained. Because of
unsympathetic main character the whole movie is very hard to care
about.
Battle scenes are very few for such a movie and serve as illustrations
rather than plot points. Some of the things taken from modern combat
and movies are just silly, like navy seals style training and
collecting tags from sniped enemies. That simply did not happen at that
time in history. Sniping scenes are very weak, especially when main
character hold the rifle it visually wobbles a lot until she pulls the
trigger and gets perfect shot. It's just laughable. There's a cliché
sniper-vs-sniper standoff subplot which ends way too quick, and ends in
confusing "Han Solo shot first" situation.
Also laughable are all the death scenes. Like actors came from some
provincial theater and try to portray dying in a most over-the-top
dramatic way.
