Quite exciting

From the film I had first not expect much, because I remembered that he was one of the flops. Eventually he ran at night on TV, and I saw him at me ... and was hooked. No, not a modern film classic but an exciting war film / thriller.
The occupation I find sometimes a bit unfortunate (Ron Perlman? Why?), And the love story would not necessarily have to be ... typical modern trend to incorporate a love story into everything, probably fearing that a film without such could not arrive.

A word to the historians: The film is based on the life of the legendary Russian sniper. As I understand it, is not entirely clear to what extent this told the whole truth in his memoirs. There are contradictions, and it may well be that the war propaganda exaggerated his successes.
However, I doubt that this film is based as absolutely authentic, proven on 100% fact. I think the goal is entertainment, based on the story of a Soviet war hero, no more and no less.
Even if the life of a real sniper proceeded quite differently, the duel depicted in the film two snipers in the middle of a war zone is entertaining in any case, even if the end and the unnecessary love story may not be optimal.
