Today's film was a vary good, although it felt more like a documentary to me. I feel this way because of how the characters acted. I felt like they were more documenting what was going on than acting it out. Danila to me in a round about way is an Honorable man. Through out the movie he never goes back on his word. If he says I will let you live he lets you live. I think if the circumstances had been different he could be a good man living a decent life. Instead his brother gets him caught up in this ring and he ends up having to make decisions to help out his brother. Through out the movie he tells every one he was a clerk during the war. I find this hard to believe. Almost every thing he does seems more like he was in an elite group in the army. I get the feeling he is unhappy through out the movie. He has to tough decision but he never shows any emotion when he does have to kill. This was a movie that made it so you never wanted to look away. I hope every one enjoyed it!

  1. I agree with everything you said...I think that in the scene when Danila is riding in the truck he said something like he was only working at HQ until he could leave the army. To me this hinted that he really was a great soldier that was only a clerk while he waited to be discharged. good post :)

  2. I too suspect Danila had a much more extensive history in the army than merely serving as a clerk at HQ...
