Enemy at the Gates (2001)

 Genre: Action
Directed by: Jean-Jacques Arnaud
Starring: Joseph Fiennes, Jude Law, Rachel Weisz, Ed Harris 
Running time: 128 minutes


As the Battle of Stalingrad rages on, during World War II, sniper Vasily Zaitsev becomes a hero of the Russian people. He starts a snipers war to the death with Nazi Major Erwin König.

I always find it kind of weird when a movie has a group of American and British actors playing German and Russian characters, but it is what it is I guess. The acting was pretty good and the story felt realistic enough. The war and fighting aspect of it was well done, the love story part just felt forced and unnecessary.
