Overview

Set in the last days of World War II, a small band of Russian soldiers led by intelligence officer Brana Vasilyeva, who is tasked with trafficking the remains of Hitler back to Stalin in Russia. En route, the unit is attacked by German ‘Werewolf’ partisans and picked off one-by-one. Brana leads her surviving comrades in a last stand to ensure their ‘cargo’ doesn’t fall into the hands of those who would see it buried in order to hide the truth forever.

Burial is one of those films that could have done so many interesting things but didn't. This could have worked as a horror film, for example. Instead, what we get is a rather loose production, that meanders about pushing a rather trite anti-Fascist narrative but fails to go anywhere meaningful. Acting is reasonable, if nothing special and action scenes are alright but don't really inject much needed momentum and excitement. In summary Burial starts off with promise but as is so often the case, fails to deliver.
