****(Four Stars) "A quiet sense of aloneness flows through every beautifully photographed frame of "Ambush" and fills the fierce and melancholic gazes of its superb cast." Wade Major, Box Office Magazine "Ambush is a big, sweeping, old-fashioned widescreen war epic packed with rousing battle scenes beautifully shot among the sun-splashed, endless Finnish forests." - The Washington Diplomat "A classic war picture" & "Love Scenes are tender and erotic, the battle scenes flawlessly staged" - Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times "Beautifully shot and Finely Acted" & "It's akin to what the Thin Red Line might have been had it been comprehensible" - Luke Thompson, New Times "Olli Saarela offers up a trembling romanticism that gradually hardens with exposure to the horrors of war" - Paul Malcolm, LA Weekly "With a minimum of actual violence, Ambush is almost an antiwar film, demonstrating through the conflict between Lukkari and Saarinen the way in which war can turn young men into savages, separating those who are mentally ill equipped from those who become obsessively vicious, with most somewhere on the scale between". - M. Haas, National Public Radio "Stirring, splendidly made film & It's a lot better than Pearl Harbor on a trivial fraction of the budget" Charles Britton, Daily Breeze |
