Reviews:

As movie it was great and meaningful even going factually totally wrong
Well, I think I got the point what was meant, but it shall be clear that it has nothing to do with portraying Afgan-Soviet conflict. This movie try to deal with a nature of war as it self and does it to my mind pretty good.

Well, these guys in a tank were not Russians in any manner. Maybe it is possible that some smarts is questioning his comrades towards enemies, but it’s hard to consider it in USSR troops. Comradeship is a holy thing for them, holier then bible, so there is no way they could abandon one of them even when it would be an order (even if commander would gone insane to order such an action, crew would probably beat the sheet out of him rather then obey). My uncle served in action in Afganistan for soviets as commando. Although he isn’t Russian and had little respect (as most Latvians) to soviets, he’s never disrespected his army fellows or combating officers.

Starting action was pretty made up as well, as for village blowing purposes soviets would use choppers not tanks. Tanks was used in protecting roads and securing routes. Operatons was mainly carried out by solders and armored vehicles – BTR’s. Tanks could be used as support, but there is no way massive tank attack would be enforced without commandos on foot or vehicles guarding them as it was shown (well, armament has always been a virtue for soviet commanders not soldiers).

But as I already said, in general this movie is totally worth to see.

JUSTICE?: RAMBO makes Millions, THE BEAST, $160,000…
Allegedly came out during a change of administration at COLUMBIA, and they knew not what to do with it, and at a time when the ‘blockbuster’ mentality was starting to become the norm, THE BEAST may have played in what, five cities for a week or two…..they say the most valuable gems can be the hardest to find…and THE BEAST is no exception to that maxim…

This is as close to a ‘foreign film’ out of Hollywood as you are going to get…the story brings the conflict between people forward, and makes the action incidental-virtual guaranteed bankruptcy for a US film today.

And as for the actors speaking English-I think the producers realised they were close enough to no profit by having one language being subtitled as it was-the whole film being subtitled would have seen no financing at all, probably.-That just doesnt fly in H-town….’art-house’ kiss of death… However…

The acting is first rate. The story is lean, and to the point. The scenery is stark and beautiful-well, IMHO…. There is little pandering to the audience, and little Cultural Condescension that I can see-

The viewer soon becomes loyal to the Mujahadeem Rebels, not because they are against the Ruskies, but because they have the will and the right to exist as they are, not to be dictated to by a ‘higher’ invading power…

Thought it suffers a bit from low budget, I would rate THE BEAST up with FULL METAL JACKET, PLATOON, DAS BOOT, and APOCALYPSE NOW… an EIGHT out of TEN stars… dont rent this-OWN it!
