Customer Reviews of Immortal Fortress: A Look Inside Chechnya's Warrior Culture
"Chechen Tactic, No Tactic" Great movie, I only say this because it's just about the only documentary I have ever seen on this war. Theres maybe all together 3 minutes of actual combat footage in this film. I was really impressed that this film maker did make it out of there with his head still attached to his body. Chechens are notorious for kidnapping.
I was dissapointed in the fact that they rarely discussed tactics, the only one I recall is about street fighting, and how the Chechens would find two Russian squads at both ends of a street and one of them would run through the middle and fire in both directions and the Russians would end up shooting at each other for 30 minutes...they only realized they were fighting there comrades when they called in for artillery fire. I thought that was amazing.
Disappointing...
I was hoping for two things when I bought this video...one, to be emotionally moved and two, to attain decent quality archival footage. I received neither. Although there is a lot of footage, the editing is a bit fast and chaotic with an addition of cheesy (and overdone) video effects to "heighten" the intensity. I found the film to be both patronizing and pretty pretentious. Its a pity...there's quite an opportunity for a real heartwrenching, "war is bad" theme but instead I saw something that felt like propaganda.
Disappointing
Simplistic bit of propaganda. The journalist who put this together was clearly won over by the Chechen cause, but the result is not particularly insightful or informative. Perhaps a good introduction for those who know nothing about the conflict, but not much good for anything more.
