Synopsis

USSR, November, 1941. Based on the account by Vasiliy Koroteev this is the story of Panifilov's Twenty-Eight, a group of twenty-eight Red Army soldiers commanded by General Ivan Panfilov, that stopped the advance on Moscow of a column of fifty-four Nazi tanks of the 11th Panzer Division for several days. Though lightly armed they fight tirelessly and defiantly, with uncommon bravery and unwavering dedication, to protect Moscow and their Motherland.

    “russia is a great land, but there is nowhere to retreat – moscow is behind us!” every frame reminded me of the winter landscapes of camille pissarro or pieter bruegel, that same quiet poetry in snow and human stillness. the music is incredible too. the ending especially struck me: it echoes the finale of andrei rublev, where the black and white film bursts into color with rublev’s icons. here, it’s the reverse, the film returns to black and white, closing with a monument to the survivors, another reflection on art, memory, and endurance

    Panfilov’s Twenty Eight (2016) is a Russian War Film based on an event that happened on the Eastern Front during WW2. As with most of these David vs. Goliath stories (many are referenced in the film), you know there is going to be a lot of death, destruction and acts of heroism. Doesn’t matter what army you fought for, everyone involved has a valid story to tell. Excellent dialogue among doomed soldiers. The CGI mixed in with models of the German tanks was surprisingly flawless and damn the explosions were fierce. Another example why the Europeans make the best war films, they lived it and know how to tell it. F ‘O’ M 8/10

    Crowdfunded into existence and after doing some research the story itself is a total myth. Ironically the soldiers talk about the Greeks and their heroics against the Persians early on. Much like the Greeks (see 300) its all exaggerated propaganda. With that said it served a purpose and you can’t argue with the results. As for the movie, there were some moments and I definitely appreciated the shot-on-location feel over the CGI-fest thats far too popular these days. If your interests in the genre go farther than just the blockbusters, I’d give it a go.

    This was a really well made World War 2 film from Russia. You really only hear about the Russians when you hear about the Red Army so it was cool to see what the Kazakhs were up to also. The battle scenes were very stressful and well shot, and there were times where I felt like I was part of the action too. I know the story of Panfilov’s 28 Men was an urban legend but it doesn’t make this any less of a great film. A definite recommend if you’re interested in the Eastern Front, or just WW2 in general. Only reason I didn’t give this a 5 is because there was this part where one of the characters casually explains the plot of Seven Samurai even though that movie didn’t exist back then, and I have no idea why they decided to have that in the movie.

    Essentially Russian WW2 300, just without the comic stylization. The Spartans are even mentioned, just in case you didn’t get the similarities. If you watch knowing this is action movie mythologizing of propaganda, what’s left is a well-directed, impressively slick war actioner. Panfilov’s 28 takes some time for the siege to begin, but once it does, directors Druzhinin and Shalopa do a stellar job at blending sets, pyrotechnics, practical effects, scale miniatures, and CGI to deliver intense chaotic set-pieces. Repetitive in the sense of being limited to trenches and tanks, but well-paced, immersive, and with no shortage of menacing steel hordes.

    Die Termopylen aus 300 auf ein russisches Feld irgendwo vor Moskau gegen Ende ’41 verlegt. Nur hier sind es die namensgebenden 28 Soldaten (plus etwas Artillerie-Rückendeckung) die ein ganzes deutsches Panzerregiment aufreiben. Das erste Drittel werden die wenig-einprägsamen Charaktere einigermaßen sympathisch vorgestellt, wobei schon hier herrlich-kontrastreiche Bilder der verschneiten Landschaft entstehen. Beim Anblick der anschließenden absurd-schönen und gleichzeitig grausam-realistischen Schlachten-Szenen fühle ich mich meiner Adrenalinschübe, trotz zum Ende übertriebenster Heroisierung, nicht schuldig. Authentische Gefechte fast ohne CGI (bzw. absolut unauffällig), nur tolle Farb- und Lichtspielerein (der ‘Schlachtfeld im Sonnenuntergang Lens-Flare-Shot’ 🤩); dazu eine Soundkulisse wie ein Schlag in die Magengrube, die Musik treibend bis zum Wahnsinn – alles crowdgefundet 😨! Audiovisuell ein echte Bombe, die Handlung anspruchsvoll wie ein Ego-Shooter, diskussionswürdig wie eigentlich fast alle actionorientierten ‘Combat Filme’ und besser als die meisten amerikanischen und/oder high-budget Produktionen die ich kenne… das 300 der WW2-Kriegsfilme (mit einem schwer abschätzbaren Überraschungs-Erstsichtungs-Bonus meinerseits).

    Pseudo-historischer russischer Propagandafilm, der die angeblichen Heldentaten eines Battalions zeigt, das den deutschen Vorstoß auf Moskau im Jahre 1941 gestoppt haben soll. Ca. die Hälfte des Budgets wurde vom russischen Staat zur Verfügung gestellt. Wie typisch für Filme der Ära Putin wird das Heldentum der sowjetischen Soldaten hervorgehoben, ohne sich dabei kritisch mit dem Regime des Massenmörders Stalin oder den Verbrechen der Roten Armee auseinanderzusetzen. Entsprechend lächerlich – aber gewissermaßen unterhaltsam – sind die Dialoge. Immer wird das Vaterland und die Heimat beschworen, die Menschlichkeit (lol), und schließlich scheint sogar Gott auf der Seite der Sowjets zu sein. Die deutschen Soldaten sind nur Schießbudenfiguren. Sie laufen den Russen immer willig vor die Gewehre. Auch die zahlreichen Panzer sind verdammt ungefährlich…

    Пока что лучший отечественный (современный) фильм про войну. Видно что сделан с душой, оно и понятно, потому что фильм был сделан на деньги, по всей видимости с тундровских пакетиков. Что касается реализма, он тут не очень. Немецкие бесконечно спавниещиеся танки и солдаты, бессмертные герои в которых прилетает два танковых снаряда, но они всё равно встают и продолжают стрелять. Фильм средняк, но учитывая то что он НАШ, и сравнивая его с другими конвеерными, однотипными фильмами о ВОВ, то это бомба.

    “That’s what they call folktales, boys.

It’s 104 minutes of chauvinistic, jingoistic, messaging with a few quips and the thunderous roars of war thrown into the mix to spice it up.

    A bad film, but notable for several reasons. Firstly, it challenges the common idea that modern Russian patriotic blockbuster cinema is purely a state-sanctioned, top-down affair. After being denied state funding, the filmmakers launched a crowdfunding campaign and secured the backing of over 30,000 people. The film was partially finished when then-Minister of Culture, Vladimir Medinsky, became involved, securing the rest of the funding and becoming a vocal proponent of the film. A striking example of the synergy between filmmakers,…

    Disgrace. Total fail and disgrace.🙏 First — tanks have no crosses, no idea whose side they’re on. Second — both Germans and our guys make zero noise when shot. No screams, just drop dead. Third — zero feeling that this battle is real or scary. The acting is ‘amazing’ btw. And the dialogue? Full of modern words Soviet people never said.👎 The visuals carry it, but even those are ugly and stupid.👎 Watch it if you don’t care about movies or war.🤏

    1941, Nov 14-16 A small detachment of Soviet infantry face-off against a German armored column on the outskirts of Moscow. Not your generic modern Russian flag-waver. Just a simple, no nonsense action movie. Only knock on it is that the Germans are just faceless zombies. Interesting note is that models were used for the tanks, rather than CGI. Movie has a little hat tip to ‘The Seven Samurai’ (1954). Story is based on a legend surrounding the Soviet Army’s 316th Rifle Division. (229) For more WW2 movies placed in a historical context see list ‘WWII Films in Chronological Order – TgL’ here.

    It’s one thing to have your film knowingly wink at the audience to highlight your story’s David versus Goliath-esque parallels by having characters speaking of Greek legend and the Spartans, but it’s another thing entirely to have Russian soldiers in 1941 clearly and unambiguously describing the plot of Seven Samurai (1954) and The Magnificent Seven (1960). Pretty solidly made war flick otherwise though.

    Técnicamente impresionante pero es ese tipo de película que te olvidas en 2 minutos….porque? Porque ni los personajes tienen nombre ni desarrollo y la trama es inexistente. Es una secuencia de acción larga simplemente. Ignorando así todo el contexto interesantisimo, social, civil y político que se podría haber contado, que es lo más importante siempre en una obra bélica; en fin; una MALA película de guerra.

    Interesting little bit of WWII schlock here. Funded by the War Thunder devs. Goes between being coy about the fact that the Panfilov legend was confirmed shortly after the end of the war to be made up and pandering to the insistence, even by modern Russian politicians, that saying that is bad. Too much exposition until the siege starts and the subtitles were made by some guy with Google Translate and are not good. But otherwise competently made and far from the worst of these Russian B-movies about the eastern front.

    As far as cinematics go it’s okay, but directing not so much. Too many speeches and tough-talk about saving the motherland, kicking the Germans and saving the world, and too little reality. The Germans are painted out to be weak, while the fact is in 1941 they were stronger than ever. But then again Russians never had a problem rewriting history, which in my opinion is a disgrace of the millions of men who sacrificed their lives in the real battles. It’s a shame, honestly

    a good film, solid acting and handling of weapons and grenades/molotovs. however several inaccuracies with the anti tank rifles. the tanks were well made and used. the action had steady pacing and felt very realistic. little details like the radio wire getting cut by combat, and the tanks burying men alive by X crossing over trenches was a nice touch.

    Muy poquita cosa. Todo dirigido a una batalla, que si bien es decente no termina de emocionar lo más mínimo, con un nulo desarrollo de personajes (no hay personajes) y apenas sin historia, más allá de subrayarte esa especie de asedio que se avecina. Es quizá más un homenaje a lo que fue esa compañía y darle ese sentimiento patriótico al país, como así te lo muestran vaya.

    Despite a slow start, Panfilov’s 28 Men has some good action scenes. Narrow in scope, the film focuses on a single battle on the road to Moscow in the Second World War. The majority of the film takes places in trenches, and it mostly consists of prolonged combat sequences. This is a very combat-focused film, and little room is given over to complex characterisation or inter-personal drama. And, to be honest, it is well-choreographed. This is clearly a film made with…

    1941: Die Wehrmacht steht vor Moskau. Die sowjetischen Verteidiger graben sich ein und warten auf den Feind… Bei Amazon entdeckt, da er bald aus dem kostenfreien Programm fällt. Ist nach einer von der Propaganda abgefeierten Begebenheit, die nicht ganz so stattfand aber der harte Abwehrkampf der Russen gegen die deutschen Panzerdivisionen wird schon sehr ordentlich porträtiert. Die Heldenprosa hält sich erfreulicherweise in Grenzen. Sind einfach normale Männer, die versuchen einen übermächtig wirkenden Feind aufzuhalten. Bei einem Marsch werden die Sieben Samurai und die Schlacht an den Thermopylen zitiert. Dann weiß man bereits ungefähr, wohin die Reise hier geht. 6,5-7/10

    honestly just a whole lot of shooting… there’s action but no excitement, which makes the movie pretty dull. interesting to see how Russia remembers & depicts “The Great Patriotic War” in memory though; the individual heroism, sacrificing for the greater good, how scores of germans fall and fall, triumphing against all odds, etc.

    Totalmente infravalorada. No tiene nada que envidiar a coetáneas del género como 1917, Sin Novedad en el Frente o Dunkerque. Tiene incluso más mérito, con menos de 2 millones de presupuesto. Pocas películas bélicas reflejan tan bien la crudeza de la II Guerra Mundial. Honor a aquellos que defendieron Moscú.

    My bro Adam found the steelbook of this at the Euroshop for 1€ and bought it cuz it was advertised as a Warthunder movie and we have a homie (Simon) who has over 3000 hours in Warthunder and drives tanks in real life. So we invited him and watched this today. Essentially it’s a Russian war propaganda movie with forgettable characters and has all the classic war movie tropes but it’s surprisingly entertaining and looks and sounds really good and realistic. Is it worth a watch? No not for most people but Simon enjoyed it 🙂

    Ya no estamos en el período de oro del cine antibelicista ruso, que en realidad fue soviético, pero igual la película funciona en ese abnegado sentido del sacrificio propio del ejército rojo y en la tensión que se crea a medida que el batallón se va diezmando.

    The first 45 minutes of the film are heroic and at the same time meaningless, like chewing gum and nothing actually happens except dialogue and stupid sayings. After the positioning of the Russian soldiers and the artillery fire that finally appears (filmwise) and the arrival of the Nazis, there is a bit of a bang. However, only for now and the fascists are retreating again. The entire film is a lame disappointment and serves as Russian propaganda at best. A…

    True story of a few Russians who fought off the Nazis saving Moscow. Great battle scenes. Constant action. The ending shows a really cool memorial that was created for them. Really an amazing story of proud people defending their country. This film honors them well.

    The first half an hour is just stodgy Russian “banter” and mounds and mounds of exposition. Then, 38 minutes in, just when I was thinking it was going to be a talky musing on the horrors of war, COME AND SEE ‘lite’ style, it booted right off into a big, bombastic “few against many” strategic battle actioner. And became immensely more enjoyable for it.

    Conta a história de um corpo do exército soviético que aparentemente era uma das últimas defesas que impediriam os Nazi de chegar em Moscou. Retrata muito bem a falta de experiência dos soldados do exército vermelho no início da guerra, porém desenvolve muito bem os personagens onde eles realmente demonstram muita força contra um enorme número de inimigos que estavam equipados com tudo possível, de tanques a aviação, enquanto os soviéticos contavam com alguns rifles e 2 canhões anti tanque…

    There’s some quirky dialogue in this film that makes it funny. The cinematography is quite good. The UK English dub adds to the novelty. Character development is somewhat lacking but it’s still remarkable to weave this whole thing out of a single newspaper article.

    28 Soldiers – Die Panzerschlacht ist wie der Titel verrät ein Film der vorwiegend Panzer in Szene setzt und das wirklich mit Stil! Aber voerst ein paar Fakten, da ich mir diesen Film gerade wegen seiner Entstehungsgeschichte extrem gereizt hat 28 Soldiers ist ein Film der auf einer russischen Legende beruht. Der Legende von Panfilovs Achtundzwanzig Gardisten. 28 Helden die sich einem Panzerregiment der Wehrmacht entgegen stellten. Er spielt zur Zeit der Ostfront im zweiten Weltkrieg und behandelt die Operationen…

    Decent film. Very realistic and gripping for viewer. However, it is so biased. Soviets look invincible with little faults and the Wehrmacht appear imbecilic and lacking in tech – when as we know, the Germans were superior in gear and tactics until the final stages of O. Barbarossa (reminds me a bit of Dunkirk)

    If you want to know what a real Russian blood is then this film is for you. No wonder why the Nazi cunts can’t withstand their bravery. Mother fucking Nazis fought for a shitty ideology but these real men fought with soul to protect their motherland and stood for humanity. Now the entire west supports ukro Nazi scums with weapons to escalate WW3 and never reflect the past and not honor their great grandfathers.. Its a shame. But, not all…

    На “28 панфиловцев” средства собирали всем миром: краудфандинг, министерства культуры двух стран. При ограниченном бюджете нужно отдать должное мастерству и качеству картинки: макеты танков выглядят натуралистично. К самой истории вопросов нет: если 28 панфиловцев и не было буквально, то были безымянные те, чьи подвиги символизирует эта история, и было их значительно больше. Вопросы есть к режиссуре и подбору актёров: какой-то лютый холод и неуют над всем этим. И дело не в зимних окопах. For “Panfilov’s 28 Men,” funding was raised…

    Filmwelt Wichtelclub Runde 56- 30.07-12.08.23- Wichtelvermutung: Col_plimp Ein Krieg-Actionfilm, indem nur 28 Russen Deutschlands Panzerregiment und Infanterie “vernichten”. Tolle Effekte, gute Soundqualität und spannungsfördernde Szenen runden den Film ab. Mir kam es aber manchmal so vor, dass die Schauspieler etwas zu fröhlich waren die russischen Staatshelden zu verkörpern. Das als Crowdfunding, wo zwar die russischen Regierung viel mit investiert hat, ist schon stark. P.S. !Ironie! Hoffentlich gibt es bald einen Film, wo ukrainische Soldaten die Russen platt machen.

    Una buena pelicula, que nos deja apreciar el otro lado no explorado por el cine de Hollywood. La pelicula es buena, tiene buenos efectos ademas de tratar de un hecho historico el cual retrata muy bien, SIN olvidar que esta pelicula fue realizada en base a donacion lo cual pienso le da tmb un punto al no dejarse llevar por la magia del Hollywood . ademas de mostrar que tan sanguinario fue este frente y decisivo para la guerra.

    A fairly well made war film that is based on the myth of Panfilov’s Twenty-Eight Guardsmen that turned out to be an invention of Soviet propaganda. There’s probably a more interesting film to be made about the Russian propaganda machine during WWII than making a film like this that attempts to take back control of the story. A small group of Russian soldiers defend the last line before Moscow, defeating endless waves of Germans and tanks, who are portrayed as…

    If US intelligence analysts had watched this, they’d of known the Russian invasion of Ukraine was a certainty. This is Putin’s vision. The dialogue consists solely of deranged patriotic pronouncements. And the finale features massive Social Realist closeups of Social Realists statues erected postwar for the fallen heroes. The last shot shows the brave comrades framed against the sky, awaiting invaders. It’s pure fascist art, but irony sure has a way of being ironic… Every plot point of plucky determined…

    I think the main problem was how they kept talking about religion, specifically Christianity. This is grossly inaccurate as the USSR had a history of persecuting religion and this movie overlooks that for the purposes of making Russia and Kazakhstan look good in the eyes of the west. Specifically from 1928-41 they had a prominent anti religious campaign and so talking to a political commisar of the red army about god would be a terrible idea as it would not end well for you. The events of the film are also a highly contested historical event.

    I watched the dub DVD titled “Thunde of War” which uses the title screen from the game “War Thunder”. From there it’s a bit of a drag to the battle. The battle itself takes up a majority of the runtime. The first half hour or so should’ve been trimmed down. The actual also kind of drags as there’s not much variety in the action, and it’s a bit hard to tell when people die. Overall, it looks nice, just feels too slow for it’s own good. Personal rating – 5/10 Critical rating – 5/10
