Formulaic

Like the throng of recent Russian war movies, this one follows the contemporary canon - likable Russian squad, love interest, jokes abound between fierce battles, sacrifice for the motherland, saving innocents, upholding the high ground...As usual, technical execution was very good. Russian cinema is the Hollywood's antipode in that they both promote questionable political agendas, only with less refinement. This anachronistic movie caters to the local market, so it can be easily passed over. If you really want a taste of the recent Russian cinema, try Leviafan (2014), Mayor (2013), Durak (2013) or Nelyubov (2017).
