He never gave up
jkqkjkk22 February 2024
I watched a new film in the cinema about General Zaitsev, who fought terrorism during the Soviet era. I liked the film because it shows different stages of the hero's life. We first see him growing up during the war. Then he himself serves in the army and begins to build his career. It was not easy for him, but he went towards his goal no matter what.

A very important part of the film is the rescue of the hostages. Several armed bandits captured a bus with schoolchildren and a teacher. They demanded a large ransom and the opportunity to escape abroad. They must be stopped by Zaitsev and his task force.

This is one of the most tense moments of the film. Here everything may not go according to plan and then there will be victims. Zaitsev took full responsibility for carrying out the rescue mission. And although you can read on the Internet how it all ended, I strongly recommend watching the film in a cinema.

I think this film is worth watching. It is based on real events and boasts unique revelations from the book of the real General Zaitsev. So it's definitely worth a look.

A General Became a Legend

The name of Gennady Zaitsev is known in many countries of the world, because this is not just a general, but a true legend of anti-terrorist operations. The movie "Komandir" was released, which is based on his biography, and I will say that it is definitely worth seeing. It is a fascinating story about the life of a great man and a gripping thriller about hostage-taking.

The plot describes a large span of Gennady Zaytsev's biography, which ranges from 10 to 54 years. We see Zaytsev as a young child during World War II, and gradually watch him grow up, join the army, and eventually become a prominent officer of the Soviet security services.

I like the performance of the actor Kirill Zaitsev. He plays the main role here. It is interesting to follow him, he plays confidently and emotionally. Thanks to him the general looks as interesting and attractive as possible.

The most important part of the movie is the beginning of the anti-terrorist operation in the city of Ordzhonikidze. Here we get to see and experience the real Drama. The movie keeps you in suspense and makes you worry about the outcome of the events, even though you know how everything will end.

It is a strong dramatic work that tells the real story of a real hero, and I recommend you to watch it.

He has no right to fail

Based on real events, the new biopic 'Komandir' has premiered. The story focuses on Gennady Zaitsev, commander of the 'Alpha' group, the first counter-terrorist unit in the history of the USSR. We are now getting to know a lot more about one of its first leaders.

Gennady Zaitsev is an ordinary man, a man of the people. During his childhood, Zaitsev had to help his mother with the housework and take care of his sisters. Despite having no significant connections or acquaintances, he remained determined and resolute in achieving his goals. Eventually, he was appointed as the leader of the 'Alpha' group, which is responsible for combating terrorism.

Zaitsev's next and most crucial mission was to handle the situation in the city of Ordzhonikidze, where terrorists had taken an entire bus full of children hostage. There is little time left for the successful completion of the operation, and Zaytsev would have to show all his talents here, in order for everything to be well in the end.

The movie was captivating and dramatic, primarily due to the admirable qualities of the main character and the obstacles he overcomes.

'Komandir' is a powerful and moving film based on true events. In my opinion, watching it in the theater is definitely worthwhile.
