Die for nothing

A mid-budget film that squanders its financial and technical resources in a cinematography that is lacking in all aspects. The performances of the lead actors are rather mediocre and hardly believable. The film's plot itself is implausible; in fact, the Katiusha missile launcher has never been a top-secret weapon suitable for a sabotage operation. The Katiusha launcher is nothing more than a truck with some rails, so it's not worth sacrificing so many human lives. It would be another matter if we were talking about the Katiusha missiles themselves, which did have cutting-edge technology for their time, but none of these missiles are seen here.It's strange that in 2019 a film like this was produced with such resources and that they were so poorly utilized. The music is completely absent, the photography is very mediocre, with an overuse of slow-motion shots. At times, one wonders if this is an amateur film or something made for TV, but in reality, it's simply a poorly directed movie. The direction lacks precision and fails to make the most of the technical and human resources available. It's not that the actors are bad; they are actors who have not been used to their full potential.The narrative is also quite poor; there are some attempts at psychological depth, but they remain just that, mere attempts. The post-production of explosion and gunfire effects is also rather lackluster, despite the fact that nowadays, with CGI, these effects are readily available in any production. I'm inclined to think that there were organizational problems that caused this film's production to go awry, which is a shame.

Terrible Script

This could have been better, much better. The Secret Weapon prop was laughable. If the truck was drivable, the Germans would have driven it. The actions of the Russian soldiers did not make sense. The actions of the Germans even less so. The whole point of the movie seemed to be that the Russian heroes would all die pointless, suicidal deaths.
