This laughably propagandistic movie from Russia is based upon one of the wars between the Poles and the Cossacks. Along with the incredibly irritating Russian tendency to vocally translate other languages instead of using subtitles, this movie features bad melodramatic music and excessive dialogue, not to mention stock sound effects. They didn't even wait for an overcast day to play scenes set during rainy days; nope, they went ahead and did the scenes with a rain bar on a sunny day. About the only redeeming factors of this movie are the costumes and the weaponry (multiple shot pieces and an arquebus both make an appearance). Otherwise, you can watch this if you wish to have a good laugh.
