Having never watched a Russian war film before, I was excited about this one. Reviewed by Leofwine_draca 5 / 10 The Russian Full Metal JacketĪ Russian war film that follows the exploits of a band of green soldiers as they undergo basic training before flying to Afghanistan, where they will take part in Russia's ill-attempted war in that country in the late 1980s. And whatta directing!!!? Regarding the site criteria, this film deserves at least 10 out of 10, if you ask me. Brilliant acting of fantastic crew and no amateurs even among the minor roles brings you very close to the drama. 9ya Rota keeps you nailed to the screen for whole 139 minutes.

That is done childishly simply and beautifully as in no film before that. We can easily follow their transformation through these times and the way they change. What is so well done are thorough and catchy analysis of social and psychological features of the soldiers from the time they entered the barracks as civilians to the time of their final battles as soldiers. 9ya Rota shows that every person has good and bad in themselves (which is much closer to true) but the form of good in the war is not what we would expect. Like no other Hollywood film, this one shows that good in the war is something we who live in piece can't comprehend. There are no such illusions in this film. Platoon brought some important issues for the time it was made except very good filming, but it still serves American perception of the world - divided to good and bad guys: one group of the soldiers are following bad lieutenant (played by Tom Beringer), the others are followers of deceased model of "human" killer (played by William Dafoe).

Even though Platoon is a good war movie, it is still an obvious Hollywood product which is not the case with 9th Company. First of all, it is stupid to compare such film with "Platoon" which is a common pattern of the comments on this site. I won't laugh at ridiculously "low" grade it has got, because there are more important things to be said or underlined. This is one of the best war movies I have ever seen.
