Todor Y @Phantom961 Dec 4 Highly recommend this! Must watch! See more Patrick A @RT76956530 03/11/2025 Absolutely amazing, no words could do the movie justice. See more Debbie S @RT94431247 10/01/2024 This is one of the best movies I have seen in way too long. I hope to see more of Yura Borisov and I will watch him in Russian with subtitles in anything. It's rare for a movie to make me feel much of anything for the characters because there is no character development. It's rare for me to watch a movie and want to write a review. I can't wait for my husband to see it because he is mechanically gifted and it will be even more interesting to him in many ways. Good job Russia! I will be seeking out all the Russian cinema I can find in Kentucky. See more Michael W @mawilps 06/06/2024 This military movie was great. Yuri Borisov, Olga Lerman, and the rest of the cast did a great job in this movie. This true story about Mikhail Kalashnikov, the inventor of the AK-47 assault rifle, was dramatic and inspirational. It's about never giving up on your passion no matter how long it takes to get recognition. If you haven't seen this movie yet, check it out sometime. It's a must see.

I had initially worried that Americans playing Russians would come across, as it usually does, very badly. This was worse. The film is actually Russian with Russian actors but is so badly dubbed into English, that it loses all dramatic effect. Reading the script would have been more entertaining. I'm hoping that somewhere, this film exists in the original language but with English subtitles. If it does, I might give it another try.

I enjoyed most of this movie, the story of how Mikhail Kalashnikov overcame adversity, got the girl, and invented the AK47 - not necessarily in that order. The characters are likeable enough, and there are some chuckles here and there. I didn't really ever sense a feeling of urgency to the film. He is wounded during WW2, and then while recovering starts working on a machine gun design to fix the crap soldiers are given at the front. But the AK47 isn't even finished until 1947, so it doesn't really do any good. The whole film feels a bit Pollyannaish - 'hey let's all pull together for the motherland', even to the point of fighting a political snitch and then making up with him. Huh? The love interest is just kind of there in the background, and while she makes him work for it, there is no sense of will they won't they. And as typical for Russian flicks, the dubbing is awful. I bet this movie is a full star better in native Russian. See more Read all reviews
