“Decimation” is a period drama about 10 Soviet soldiers during World War II who are accused of cowardice during the war. Their punishment, by Joseph Stalin’s orders, is imprisonment. However, the general decides these men need something more potent and sentences one, chosen at random, to death; the others are his executioners."

"Bottom line – this movie is unrelentingly bleak, features some very strong performances, and is greater than the sum of its high-concept parts. For a 30-minute war film, I couldn’t have asked for more."
