Yes - that part where they all stopped to pray together right in the middle of being attacked was interesting and surprising (and well done). I also felt that the production values (costumes, scenery, etc.) were good. However, the story itself seemed only soap-opera worthy overall, and the babes were definitely not my type! (BTW, I know I've seen - and heard (he's got a very identifiable voice) - that main guy in at least one other Russian production. I just can't remember where.) Anyway, it's probably not likely that I'll watch more.
However, I always appreciate your Netflix and Prime recommendations - I don't want to have to expend the time to surf through and find stuff for myself, and I find your reactions (and those of a few others here) a pretty reliable guide to worthwhile flicks to watch!
Follow Ups:
outweighed the factual history part of the story. In fact, I found the love story implausible unless OCD is a natural Russian trait.
"However, the story itself seemed only soap-opera worthy overall,"
Perfectly put. That is exactly what bothers me in most of their "historic" films.
We recently turned off in disgust another such film, The Road to Calvary. That one was particularly shameful, because the original film from 1957 was quite good and universally loved.
