Director: Aleksandr Nevzorov
Writer: Aleksandr Nevzorov
Stars: Aleksandr Baranov, Sergey Bogdanov, Zed Korshoonoff

A military drama based on true events - a battle on the First Chechen War during the winter of 1994-1995. A story covers attacking a local hospital where Russian military forces placed. The film is full of violence scenes.

Difficult to watch, but still a great movie!

Not an easy piece of cinema to swallow, but still a great movie!

Being a sort of a documentary-like this movie is not easy to watch. The bloody scenes aren't easy to swallow, they are filmed in a very realistic way.

But still - this movie does not hold out anything. It shows the war the way it really is - a very horrible event…

Many didn't like this movie. Many have judged this one based on their political believes. But argue or not this one shows what really happened. Without withholding anything at all.

It wouldn't be easy to find a copy of this one around these days. But still if you get your hands on a copy of this movie - be sure not to miss it!

10 points out of 10.
