Rufus, Russia is of course my *former* country, and my ties are not too strong anymore. But no, I don't think the brutality was unnecessary. I know full well how things often go in wars - there are enough accounts to that effect everywhere - so that in itself didn't strike me as gratuitous. Too bad the film was a weak one, and characters cartoonish, that got in the way of course. But there is absolutely no question the Russian army has commited its fair share of atrocities. And still is in the Chechnya war.
