Any flaws in execution pale against those moments when the film brings history to vital life.Full Review

Peter Travers
Rolling Stone

It's remarkable, a war story told as a chess game where the loser not only dies, but goes by necessity to an unmarked grave.Full Review

Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times

Enemy at the Gates has its deficiencies, but the first-rate cast is not among them.Full Review

Dana Stevens
The New York Times

It's too circumscribed and polite for the story it's telling, curiously deficient in the unexpected.Full Review

Jay Carr
Boston Globe

Annaud's epic might have worked better dramatically as a smaller, more focused picture. The best scenes simply involve Law and Harris playing sneaky professional games (less cat-and-mouse than cat-and-cat) with each other.Full Review
