I've seen some pathetic films but this one takes the cake
Could have been so much more IMO
Russians with strong british accents.....
How anyone can call themself an Actor/Actress when they can't do an accent is beyond me....they obviously don't teach accents at acting school
Really is taking the mickey...typical hollywood
cheers

And don't forget it's complete fiction too, there never was a set-piece between the 2 top snipers - it was another piece of Stalin's propoganda that over the years had become an "urban legend".
A bit like hollywood's portrayal of the capture of the enigma machine by the US Navy - complete BS and lies.
