This is definitely one of my favorite war movies of all time! What an amazing movie, two superior snipers control the battle of a city. Intensely crafted – An extraordinary work of raw skill and imagination. Director Jean-Jacques Annaud captures this madness with urgent authenticity, creating a massive context for a more intimate battle waged amid the city’s ruins.
Like Saving Private Ryan, Enemy at the Gates opens with a pivotal event of World War II – the German invasion of Stalingrad–re-created in a grand epic scale, as Russian soldiers face German attack or punitive execution if they flee from the enemy’s advance. An intense cat-and-mouse game between a Russian shepherd raised to iconic fame and a German marksman whose skill is unmatched in its lethal precision. Vassily Zaitzev has been sniping Nazis one bullet at a time, while the German Major Konig has been assigned to kill Vassily and spare Hitler from further embarrassment.
