I think it takes an Finn to see the bad acting as when I watch movies in other languages than english or finnish, I can't tell how natural the acting is. It did have some great scenes to it, but forgetting the bad acting, the whole documentary style of portraying things didn't really work, atleast for me. Where Talvisota does better is that it makes you follow the war from one point of view instead of jumping around different units like TI'44 does.

Of course, this is just my opinion off it, if someone is thinking of getting it, I'd advice to read some reviews and decide yourself. Like you said, you can get it cheap nowadays, so no harm done if one decides to get it for 5€.
