Customer Ratings & Reviews

Enemy at the Gates is an intense, gut-wrenching war drama that showcases part of the Russian front of World War II instead of the American fronts in the Pacific and European Theaters of War. The cast is outstanding, and the direction is, at a great many times relentless in the brutality. The production is outstanding, the music heart-wrenching (especially coming from James Horner), but the script itself is somewhat lacking when it comes to the whole romantic subplot involving the two Russian soldiers who fall in love with the same woman. Other than that quip, the movie is a truly solid war film.

The acting in this film is above average. The filming itself is great with realistic battle scenes and ensuing chaos that was apparent during the Battle of Stalingrad. The horrors of war are graffic in this movie, so parents should be advised. This movie has great battle scenes and the plot is very indepth you will never see a movie quite like it. is one of the movies that I love to keep watching again and again

I remember seeing this movie at the theater. The main character is Vasili Zaitsev and after coming home from the theater I immediately played Counter Strike and changed my name to Vasili Zaitsev lol lol ... The movie is awesome! And bluray just makes it even better with its picture quality and sound quality. If u're a fan of this movie, get the bluray version!

THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL MOVIE WITH ALL ITS VIOLENCE AND DRAMA. I WAS DRAWN INTO THE VIOLENCE, BUT TOOK SIDES IMMEDIATELY. WAR HAS NO RIGHT AND WRONG,BUT SOMEONE EVENTUALLY HAS TO WIN. THE STORYLINE WAS VERY REALISTIC AND DEFINITELY WAS BELIEVABLE. ALL THE ACTORS GAVE IT THEIR BEST PERFORMANCES.

I love this story. I have this in SD and watched several times. The story is great, the scenes gritty and realistic to me. In BD it is even better. The video quality is great and love the audio as well. The characters are great. What a great movie for anyone's collection.

I really enjoyed this movie. The rivalry between Jude Law and Ed Harris is excellent. Jude Law is a Russian sniper and Ed Harris is a German sniper. They face off against each other during the German invasion of Stalingrad. Joseph Fiennes and Rachel Weisz round out the cast and give excellent performances as well.

I’ve always been fascinating by war movies especially WW2 movies. But, I always enjoy a great movie that isn’t American based. This movie has British actors playing Russians and Germans in a great sniping battle of the century.

This movie takes place during World War II. It gives a good history lesson to people that do not realize how it affected other countries as well. Now this movie is excessively violent and it's not for the faint of heart. But saying all this, it's still a must see. Recommended.

This is an Excellent movie for thoes that are into world war 2 movies, or if you enjoy a good cat and mouse movie with two snipers going after one another i belive it is a movie one could enjoy diffently not a movie for kids in some parts can be disturbing for young ones.

Upon seeing this film for the first time it reminded me of so many gritty realistic war films that came out at the time such as Saving Private Ryan, Black Hawk Down, and We Were Soldiers. It's not quite as good as those however it does give us a more focused story between two dueling snipers that helps separate this movie from other films cut from the same genre.

I seen this movie at the theater when it came out and became one of my favorites.Like this movie and some other classics, such as Saving Private Ryan, I had to see them in blu-ray format with enhanced picture, color and sound!!!! Also got it for $3.99!!!

I enjoy this film a great deal. It's intense, well-acted, and the art direction/costumes/general design feel accurate and real. My only complaint is the love story jammed into it. It's really the only uneven aspect. The love story is minor and could easily be removed without leaving any plot holes—it doesn't drive the film. In fact, it distracts a bit from the already-engaging story.

Bought this movie based on the weapon (Mosan Nagant) used by Jude Law's character which turned out to be based on a true story. The movie far surpassed my expectations but then again Jude Law is the main character so it is to be expected.

This movie is in the vein of saving private ryan. It is a hard movie to watch and the characters are believable. The horror of war is sad and the characters are time are powerless to change outcomes. Overall the movie is well made and believable.

I absolutely love this movie. Everyone who owns a mosin nagant should be required to have a copy of this movie. If you know who vasily zaytsev is or you're a mosin lover do yourself a favor and get this movie a.s.a.p. you wont regret it.

If you haven't seen this, you should. Definitely worth owning as it is one movie you can enjoy watching multiple times. Your wife will enjoy watching it as well. So bonus points for that.

It is a great movie set during WWII, mostly about snipers taking out other snipers while the Russians are defending a city while the Germans are trying to take it over. Based on real life Russian and German snipers.

Love this movie even though I only caught bits and pieces everytime it was on tv . So instead of waiting to see the full movie i just went and bought this blu ray to add to my pretty big movie collection to watch anytime I want

This movie was very well done, acting was good, story was good, keeps you in suspense throughout. Two snipers locked in a chess match, worth the watch, I wasn't disappointed. Recommend.

The modern west has never had a major city under seige, Russia had 3. And Stalingrad was the worse. As bad as things in this movie looked the reality was worse, much worse. Losely based on actual events.
