Reviews

Diagonaldi Very well executed

Stephan Hammond It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Brooklynn There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

stevefoulks I live in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan which has a large population of Finish Americans. This movie appeared on our local PBS station recently. I was aware that Russia had always wanted to dominate Finland. I was not aware that they had fought a war against each other. In my opinion the movie was an excellent documentary. It described in detail the issues leading up to the war, how Russia implemented their strategy, and the response of the whole Finish nation. I have always found the Finish people to be very gentle and kind, but this movie demonstrated their ferocity when facing extraordinary pressure. I highly recommend this movie for any history buff.
