A near-perfect movie about the WWII battle of Stalingrad where two snipers, one Russian (Jude Law) and one German (Ed Harris) engage in a battle of wits, wills and marksmanships. Also stars Joseph Fiennes, Rachel Weisz, Bob Hoskins and Ron Perlman. It would have been a considerably better movie without the unnecessary romantic entanglements among the characters, but still, the good actors (and director) make the best of it as well.
