The Admiral in July

9 July 2009

Brilliant warrior, devoted lover, undisputed legend: Admiral Koltchak was one of the most formidable commanding officers the world had ever seen. Choosing to fight for a country mired in war and revolution, Koltchak took on a mighty enemy and defeated them with invention, cunning and tactical genius. Or at least that's the way the legend has it.

As conflict spreads across the world and the Great War rages furiously through Europe, Koltchak becomes embroiled in a deadly affair with the wife of an enemy agent. Betrayal and deception are around every corner as the might of the Allied forces closes in and it appears that no one can be trusted. Faced with a terrible choice, Koltchak is forced to confront his destiny for the salvation of his country across battlefields on battle-ravaged land and raging sea.

Yes I am quoting from the press release here, but last year's The Admiral has nonethless attracted its share of attention and praise but has not been seen widely outside of its home country. That will be partly rectified when it's released on DVD in the UK on 27th July by Metrodome at the RRP of £19.99. Spmewhat surprisingly, there will be no extra features.
