斯大林格勒战役中,瓦西里(裘德•洛 Jude Law 饰)是一个威震部队的神枪手。他的好枪法百发百中,令敌人闻风丧胆。 为了激励士气,树立榜样,瓦西里的战友——苏军文宣部军官丹尼洛夫(约瑟夫•费因斯 Joseph Fiennes 饰)在报纸上大量刊登瓦西里的英雄事迹,令瓦西里的形象更为高大。然而,坦妮娅(雷切尔•薇姿 Rachel Weisz 饰)的出现,让瓦西里和丹尼洛夫都同时迷恋上了这个飒爽女兵。但塔妮娅喜欢的是瓦西里,这让丹尼洛夫大为妒忌。 另一方面,德军派出了他们的狙击手康尼(艾德•哈里斯 Ed Harris 饰),让同是神枪手的他抗衡瓦西里。在硝烟弥漫的战场上,瓦西里和康尼开始了斗智斗勇的决斗。
Yiannis doesn’t have much going for him, save for his adorable dog, Jimi, and his fast-approaching date to get out of Cyprus for good. But when Jimi wanders across the U.N. buffer zone and into the section of the island Turkey seized more than forty years ago, an unregulated state unrecognized by the rest of the world, Yiannis learns, bringing a dog back over the border is not as easy as walking straight home. He enlists a mismatched band of accomplices from every side of the Cyprus dispute to find a way to get Jimi back, while never leaving the land he calls home. Writer and director Marios Piperides has been producing films in Cyprus for more than a decade, and his inside knowledge pays dividends in this narrative feature debut—a whip-smart comedy on legality, disputed nationality, and the frameworks that are erected to maintain a fragile peace. He demonstrates his compassion for locals on both sides of the divide, as he tenderly captures their struggle to find hope and make a living in a divided land. Such serious themes pair perfectly with Piperides’s sense of humor As Yiannis’s efforts dip farther into absurdity, they offer a send-up of the forces that prolong a conflict that has been poorly understood and largely forgotten by the outside world.
