Enemy at the gates is a truely amazing film, one which I would highly recommended. The scenery and sound is outstanding and the performances by the majority of the cast was exceptional. I write majority as I feel Hoskins portrayal of Kruschev was completly flat, and that he was a poor choice for the character.
The choice that the cast spoke normally and not try to mimic accents was slightly strange to start with, but didn't detract me from the film. Too many actors have been criticised for the poor renditions of accents in the past, and it would have been a shame to spoil such a stunning film with this flaw.
