Preview: 9th Company (2010)

Synopsis:

A company of men fight for Russia in Afghanistan and desire to become the first to win there.

• Poster: B

Review:

The poster isn't bad. A nice color set and strong image selection make for a poster worth looking at, but questionable in its ability to draw an audience.

• Trailer: B-

Review:

It's as impressive as most standard-issue war film trailers I've seen, but it's not that much more special. One caveat is where it mentions the film was an Academy Award selection. While semi-technically true, the Academy does not grant selections on films, they are submitted by their home countries, so since the film was not nominated for the Oscar it is very misleading.

Oscar Prospects:

Having been submitted for the 2006 Academy Awards Foreign Film competition, it is too far out of that release to be eligible.

Release Date:
