I watched it yesterday and this is in fact an excellent movie. No dull moment. Well directed, good acting/costumes/military equipment/special effects with plenty of action: sword fights, battle scenes with artillery and cavalry charges (Polish winged hussars).
It's a little graphic at times (PG13) but very entertaining overall due to the humor/passion display by the characters. I was even able to brush up my Russian (learned this language for 7 years). I would recommend this one to anyone who is looking to learn more about tormented 17th Century Russian history that led to the birth of the Romanov dinasty...

PG13. I didn't invite my 14 year old daughter who has seen "worse" in regards to nudity to watch the film. She likes history films. It was more the graphic simulated violence that I thought would be bad for her and I thought watching subtitles would bore her.

I'll recommend you to watch "Ogniem i Mieczem" (With Fire and Sword) it is on netflix.com , this is one of the best Polish History movies.At the time of its release, this lavish historical epic was the most expensive Polish film ever made.
