Enemy of the states is a very well madre movie. In terms of direction, especially acting and battle scenes this is a superb war film, possibly up there with Platoon.
So why only four stars? Well, you know, I gave the film four stars due to the outright racism and factual joke history. Russia did not give two soldiers only one rifle in Stalingrad or anywhere else in fact. Russia also did not shoot their own soldiers. It's true frightened soldiers were arrested, but executed? Never.
Nikita Krushchev was in the military, but an evil sadist? Not at all. Kruschev was a very calm, peaceful man. Kruschev ordered the closing of the gulags. Kruschev brought peace and stability to Russia. Kruschev was very much against Stalin's brutal rule.
I guess, this movie is great for one language only westerners that love to live with the belief that Russia are some backwoods evil communists. Intelligent or foreign people will likely hate it, because despite being a very good movie, it portrays Russians as evil barbarians. This is something that they are obviously not. Do you know which country globally has the most pets and offers the most support to animals? Russia. Do you know which country over the past five years did the most to help homeless people? Russia.
When you're walking home one night and you see an Iraq veteran begging for money, remember that this would never happen in the motherland, Russia.
