Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

Connianatu How wonderful it is to see this fine actress carry a film and carry it so beautifully.

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

Echo I like how the presented the Tiger as a embodiment of there fears.There are several layers in the movie, on the surface its just the Russians fighting the Germans. But the underlying story is about fear and that they are not fighting Germans but a invincible Tiger.Quite a realistic setup and if you like a different concept as most war movies. Go and watch

Neagoe Bassarab Someone recommended it yo me, I will not do it. Looks like Russian cinema lost it's artistry completely. Russia lost it's artist soul together with the USSR. Not that USSR was something to mourn after. Where are the Tarkowskies, Mihalkovskies or Koncelakovskies of this time? Together with Tolstoy, Gogol, Dostoevsky, Chekhov, Essenin, Stravinsky, Rachmaninoff and many others. Lost, completely lost. This great country stopped producing something beautiful or useful for the humankind as it used to do once. Only fear among it's neighbors, that stays. Misplaced mysticism in a nonsense story telling, amateur acting, awkward scenery, lousy pyrotechnics, you will find all of it inside. A theme with immense potential wasted by pathetic imitators.

Lomax343 First things first - if you expect a "standard" war film like Saving Private Ryan or Enemy at the Gates or Fury, then this is the wrong place to look. White Tiger is a Russian film set in the dying days of WW2. The titular AFV is a lone German tank which appears mysteriously on the battlefield and destroys Russian tanks by the dozen, whilst seeming invincible. No crew is ever seen, with the result that it feels like a mash-up between the great white whale from Moby Dick and the homicidal tanker in Spielberg's Duel.Hunting the tank is a character halfway between Captain Ahab and Ishmael; a Russian tank-man who makes a miraculous recovery from seemingly fatal burns, only to find that he has total amnesia. He only knows that he can talk to the souls of tanks, and that he must hunt the white tiger.Sounds odd? That's the point. The film is heavy on metaphor and mysticism, and in the latter third becomes deeply surreal. There's a scene of three German generals signing the document of surrender, then enjoying a strange meal. Then cut to a line of Russian PoWs; then to Ahab/Ishmael alone in a field with his tank. The white tiger hasn't gone, he says. It's merely hiding, and will be back in a hundred years or so. Then the final scene: is it real? Is it symbolic? Is it happening in someone's head? You decide.This is a cerebral film. It asks questions, and leaves the viewer to struggle for answers.In Russian, with subtitles.

deschreiber I won't repeat what others have said already here, other than to agree that this is an excellent movie. I do think some reviewers make it sound more bizarre than I did. For the most part I found it to be a generally straightforward war movie, although with a mystery added to it that, in the final scenes, takes on a deeper meaning.For us non-Russians, the movie has a special interest in showing what the war was like from the Russian point of view. I do, though, want to mention one scene that stretches credulity just a little. When the war ends and the Germans surrender, the top German officers are given royal treatment, a dinner fit to have come from a very exclusive restaurant. I thought it would be their last meal and they would be executed immediately afterwards, but the movie gives no indication of that. While it might be possible that an incident like that did occur, I doubt that it was the norm. The victorious Russians were generally terrible in the way they treated prisoners, certainly before the surrender. And that is an enormous understatement. After the surrender German prisoners were marched off to do forced labour in Russia, only a small percentage of whom ever returned. And it was not just prisoners--the atrocities the Russian inflicted on German civilians were just as horrifying. Yet, to be fair, it was was payback for the equally brutal treatment the Germans soldiers meted out to Poles and Russians as they advanced in the early stages of their invasion.As a music lover, I have one nit to pick. The credits say "Music by Richard Wager." Yes, the little music in the soundtrack does use a snatch of a tune by Wagner, but to say it's "his" music--no, it's only a tiny fragment of the original and without his fabulous orchestration.As of today the movie can be found on YouTube with English subtitles.
