A rare glimpse into Russian cinema, this film is a must-see for those interested in the Soviet-Afghan war. 
From the start to end, film portrayed the Soviet point of view from an accurate source that would make the film seem like it is an American story. The movie stands to a brutal action that nearly compares to Hurt’s Locker‘s gritty reality of military occupation and the dangers that ordinary soldiers faced every day. The story is captivating and you won’t be disappointed at all.
Review rating: 8/10
