In Tranzit

Documentary filmmaker Tom Roberts makes his feature debut with this grim drama about German POW in Russia. After the end of WWII, some German prisoners are sent to a female prison in Leningrad, where a beautiful doctor has to expose a high level Nazi hiding amongst them.
Roberts' experience brings authenticity to the look of the film but can't save the weak screenplay in the otherwise interesting film with too many flaws to mention. The talented cast including Vera Farmiga, Thomas Kretschmann, Daniel Brühl and John Malkovich can't save the film either. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
