Poe’s tales are interwoven in one...Start your free trial to watch

By the Law
BY THE LAW breaks down into several stylistically different parts, only one of which resembles the grotesque extravaganza of MR. WEST. Gone is Kuleshov's insistence on the straight-forward, plot-advancing shot. Gone is the idea of montage as a step-by-step elaboration of some process. Rather, the opening sequence slowly...Start your free trial to watch

The sentiments, photography, were very good. Being a Finn, I had a lot emotion for the WWII. Scenery was authentic. I liked a lot.
Finnish history in a drama.. There is a lot of info shared if you know Finlands history.. I would watch it again.
I found it a odd picture. A slow paced war movie. The production values were great but it needed more editing.
The description of the movie is a little off. He doesn't really become an "unstoppable killing machine". Still a good movie, nice to see non Hollywood war movies.
I cannot decide whether this film is one more training film to induce yet another generation to follow in the "noble" behavior of "brave" warriors or, whether, it is a film helping us men realize the utter senselessness of war.
Really, guys crawling through the mud after repeatedly standing up to get shot again and again and, then, treated by his buddies as some-kind of hero? When will we men just stop participating?
These are the kinds of questions this film brilliantly bring into sharp focus.
