Is it for you?

Who'll love it
If you count yourself among anyone after some adrenaline and history buffs, this one's for you. Popcorn viewing in the best sense. A good follow-up to 1917.
The mood
Intense.
The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 2 hr.
What might put you off
  • It's in Russian, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Not for anyone who finds explosions tiring.

Russia, 1917, WWI. This is the story of the 1st Russian Women's Battalion of Death, formed as part of an ill-conceived propaganda ploy by the Russian Provisional Government in late May of 1917.
