Enemy at the Gates

“Though issues of politics and philosophy are touched upon, this is a film about the people inside the uniforms -- a story of human beings under pressure, forced by circumstance to make choices both impulsive and, on occasion, heroic. It's also the new year's single most satisfying movie experience thus far.”

“The sniper's life is a lonely one, full of shallow breathing and delayed gratification. Solitary as it is, Jude Law manages to get a little action in the bunkers of wartime Stalingrad in the ambitious but sometimes inadvertently silly Enemy at the Gates.”

Jami Bernard, New York Daily News · 88

“This is spectacle cinema made with individual flair; maybe someone in Hollywood will notice that it's still possible.”

“Any flaws in execution pale against those moments when the film brings history to vital life.”

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone · 80

“Marred by an unconvincing love triangle and an insincere dénouement, it's a story that nonetheless resonates as much as "Saving Private Ryan does."”
