What critics compared 9th Company to
Directed by Fedor Bondarchuk, whose credits include the 2005 Afghanistan war movie and Russian box-office smash “9th Company,” “Stalingrad” may be, like Steven Spielberg’s “Saving Private Ryan,” only slightly better than mediocre in terms of character and dialogue.
Director Fedor Bondarchuk (the fine Afghan war thriller “9th Company” was his) stages the room-to-room, hand-to-hand fighting with a brutal, bloody brio.
