This is my first ever review about a movie I watched and liked, I must say an excellent movie and brilliantly made.

I just saw the English dubbed version of this film and the voice actors did a pretty good job. Don't know how accurate this was compared to the real history, but it sure was entertaining and kept my interest right to the very end. Propaganda, so what? You'd be hard pressed to find any fictional movie, docudrama, documentary, or fact based movie of similar genre that doesn't have propaganda. Hell, the Americans are experts on it and I wish us Canadians were better at it.

Typical rusky legendary hero movie about developing a machine gun.

Of all the Russian war movies I have seen, which are mostly laced with propaganda and predictable plots... This movie rates extreme best ! The accuracy is impeccable, not just in delivering the historic events, but accurately portraying the devout Christian person of Kalashnikov... he only wanted to win WW2, but his weapon destroyed so many in terrorism in the years to come, of which he recognized withy great remorse in his letter just before he died aged 94. The film work and acting is without fault. Me as a military historian could only find miniscule faults such as an ironed and creased uniform in battle, and a few geographical errors.., but that is nothing... This is a must see for all military and weapons history buffs. This movie deserves international recognition.

I'm going to start by addressing some of the comments from reviewers who claim Hugo Schmeiser, a German weapons expert, designed the AK47. A few facts. Schmeiser was not overly co-operative with the Soviets. Moreover, they did not appear to think a great deal of his work. He received a pay cut and was effectively demoted to lesser roles. Functionally, the weapons he designed and the AK-47 designed by Kalashnikov are vastly different, too. Comments also seem to suggest Kalashnikov had no talent. If so how did he rise through the ranks from obscurity with little education, in an empire as vast as the Soviet Union? Why are not one but many of his weapons designs so famous? If he had no inherent talent how is it his son Victor also designed well known military weapons, most notably the PP-19 Bizon, also still in use today? Hardly likely, if there was no talent to be inherited. Surely? So lets move on to the film. Its a fascinating insight into the world of weapons design through the life of Soviet weapons designer Mikhail Kalashnikov. Its well acted, directed and has a certain passion I had not expected to find in a film about arms manufacture. Its clear the reasons Kalashnikov strove to develop weapons were driven by a need to protect his country, not profit from death. A point much emphasised in this film. Indeed, Kalashnikov himself wrote of his "spiritual pain" in latter life when he saw how his famous creation, the AK-47, was used around the world. What's particularly remarkable about Kalashnikov is the fact this inventor, in his early years, started off with a very basic education. He rose to prominence through hard work and the merit of his designs. A fact that is made clear in the film as he competed, with often better educated, weapons designers. In terms of the story, some creative license has been taken. Especially in terms of his private life. He married in 1921 but this film suggests he was married a lot later. Putting this aside, this film is well crafted, engrossing and utterly fascinating. This coming from a reviewer who is, by nature, a pacifist and opposed to war. 8/10 from me.

The AK-47 is virtually everywhere in the world. It rests in the hands of the free and of tyrants. As an assault rifle I do not believe it has an equal. This movie chronicles the life of a young man who had talent and a dream. I loved it from beginning to end. The photography was beautiful and the story line fulfilling. The characters were believable and appealing. I loved it.

A little gem of a movie. Much better than I expected. Give it a watch. You will not be disappointed.
