Featured review
Koivusalo's film is historically mostly accurate, but difficult to follow unless you're already familiar with the events.
I have to disagree with the previous reviewer on the portrayal of Reds during the Finnish Civil War. Koivusalo's film doesn't even show the fact that the Reds murdered lots of civilians. Another problem is that the viewer doesn't learn that the Reds actually lost the Finnish Civil War in May 1918. You don't learn Finnish history from this film, you have to know a lot of Finnish history before you can even understand what's actually going on in the film.
