Let me just preface by saying that I've expected a bit more from a movie with such touching and profound themes in it's premise - a painful and quite unforgettable chapter in a history of our small country. There was a lot more which could have been done with the subject matter, starting from selecting the right actors for the job (at least not hiring westerners, who have no emotional investment in this story whatsoever). The main english actress was so bad that she looked like she was face stoned throughout the whole movie with that one dumb expression stuck on her face the whole time. Other actors were not much better and pretty much interchangeable and unrecognizeable, with the notable exceptions coming from the performances of two villains of the movie - the russian camp commanders. Overall, only solid cinematography saved this mess from being a total garbage dump of a movie.
