Film Reviews by IR

This is a totally different slant on what was at the time a momentous and definitive event. We may never know just how near to the facts it was, but the scheming, plotting and score settling is probably not far out. The characters were mostly good, but Stalin himself must have been a much more formidable personality. I thought that the use of bad language was over the top. All in all, an interesting movie - which just failed to match the underlying idea. I give it three out of five - but glad I have seen it.
