Yes, this long film looks good and sounds good and is full of great actors and tense storytelling. Could be awesome- as awesome a thing about thousands of dying people can be.

But it does the one thing: it is so full of anti sowjet propaganda that it hurts the story. Beating a dead horse... why? Red heat is a better and fair film than this. Evil Wodka addicted child eaters versus good people. The evil Ivan.

I am sick of this. It is politically and artistically wrong.
