*** This comment may contain spoilers ***
This film is interesting on two levels.
First, it shows the horrors, the senseless brutality of life for conscripts in the Soviet army.
That the film was made in 1988, during the "Glasnost" period of the final days of the USSR.
The story, a group of soldiers escort prisoners on a train is of secondary importance, the film is really about the combination of petty brutality and boredom that result in a startling outbreak of violence.
The film is very well acted by the small group of actors and the photography, a mix of colour and black and white, is suitably claustrophobic.
The truly scary thing is that it is clear that in modern Russia nothing has changed! The film is a timeless reminder of the problems besetting the Russian army.
