I think it's overrated. I'v seen it and, it has a lot of stupidity in it, may be it's because I'v read the novel what movie was based on as well, I may say that the novel was much better then movie. As it usually does. Another thing about this movie is, it's not quite honest politically. It has this "bad communists" and "good capitalists/nationalists" theme. Cruelty conducted by Estonias and Russian White Card who were the opponents to Soviets are not shown in the movie, even though crimes committed by Soviets are very realistically brought to us. There are some characters (the Finish guy for example) in the movie that are only there because they are suppose to "give credit and honer our allies", these characters have no real roll and they are absolutely unnecessary, but they are there, just show, that during that war, these country(s) and nations helped us in our fight for freedom. In the end, I'd say that the movie would have been much better, if didn't have to count on Estonian government founding, which was giving the money only if the movie is "historically educating". But it's still better then most of the Hollywood war movies. Actors do there job very good. And movie is based on very good novel, which sadly doesn't appear very well because of the "not very bright" scripting.
