Anyone else see this 113 minutes of cinematic nonsense?
Where do I begin? The premise of the film might have been going, showing a Soviet women's internment camp - then it just got worse. All the prisoners were in good shape, rather well nourished - one KG was still in his Panzer uniform with all insignia, Daniel Brühl was still wearing the Ärmelstreifen on his overcoat, the POWs were invited to dance with the locals from Leningrad? And some spent the night with the locals?
The story says it is based on true events? Did this actually happen? Or the true event was the fact the German POWs were in Russia? The Arzt von Stalingrad was much more acurate in its portrail of "POW Life" then this all star cast is.. All due respect for such a talented actor as John Malkovich - but this was a silly film, with a silly cast based on a most likely fictional premise.
Any other reviews?
