Very well executed

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

I am first time watched "Admiral Nakhimov" on Russian TV when I was six or seven years old. At these days I was a big fan of epic naval adventures, and that movie easily became one of my favorites. Today, twenty years later, I watched my childhood favorite again. And you know what? It impress me again! I know that many people can say, that there is a lot of historical mistakes in that film. That is true. But also that movie is a great mix of battle epic and drama. There is an outstanding naval battles and truly breathtaking moments, like sinking of ships of the Russian Black Sea fleet in Sevastopol harbor, by his own sailors.
