Awful russian accents, I changed the language to German... where they too have awful fake accents. Besides, America good, russia bad, meh

The film plays with the length of Lawrence of Arabia, yet slogs in reality at only two-plus hours. Disappointed since this is Peter Weir.

A slow burn drama that really puts you in the environment, and gets you invested in The characters.
