I'm a history buff, WWII in particular, I love St Petersburg and I'm used to foreign language films, so I was really looking forward to this one. Unfortunately the film lacks direction. The characters are dull and over acted. It doesn't feel genuine but it's not fun either. The plot is slow and doesn't make sense. The director is relying too much on the camera, hoping to bring meaning to a weak script by simply showing the character's emotions. But without a good script, it becomes difficult to understand them.
