Gotta tell you most of the kids I saw this with were chuckling, not taking notes like it was a primer on How To Keel Kommies.

And for all the noise of how this movie pandered to the Bircher paranoia of getting invaded, the movie was pretty even-handed in depicting the Russian soldiers onscreen (most of them clueless teenager grunts themselves), and with the depiction of Howell’s character going batsh-t crazy as a character NOT to emulate.
