Country: Belarus
Director: Alexander Kott
Cast: Andrey Merzlikin, Pavel Derevyanko, Alexander Korshunov & Alexey Kopashov.
It tells the story of the heroic defense of the fortress in Brest, Belarus in 1941 against the Nazis that began on the morning of June 22, 1941, known as “Operation Barbarossa".
Based on real events and real war heroes, the movie highlights the struggle of common people when they face a surprise attack from the German army. It actually reminds me of Michael Bay’s Pearl Harbor, the surprise attack and their counter-tactics of blind resistance. The first 20 minutes were quiet and the moment Germans enters into the screen, it's chaos everywhere. The sounds of the battle were extremely convincing and felt like am stuck in a battlefield. Many of the defenders were awarded prestigious medals by the Soviet Union. Overall, it's a movie that sticks to its historical source material and I was not that familiar with the Defense of Brest Fortress, helps to understand some historical events.
Verdict: Good
