gogoschka-1 This is one of the - very - few war films that actually show war for what it really is, and what it means for the civilians caught up in it. There are no impressive explosions and visual effects, adrenaline-driven missions or brotherly scenes of camaraderie. This film shows humanity's dark side without flinching. Hard to stomach but highly recommended. 8 stars out of 10.In case you're interested in more underrated masterpieces, here's some of my favorites:imdb.com/list/ls070242495
sjamos8541 As others have said,EASILY Quaids BEST work. During this period it was tough due to the DNA Stainer's position on the Serbs to get anything that showed the Muslim's atrocities. It was ALL anti Serb All the time and basically negative PR Crap. Many of us were there and we have 2400 troops still there. A friend of mine was Commanding General of all US Forces in Yugo, first name David, look it up. The Serbs were our ALLIES all through WW2 and the others as seen in the Movie Force 10 From Navarone were all Nazi loving death camp makers. LOOK IT UP, there were many massive death camps in Yugo, ALL run by the Muslims. I love it when a movie or documentary, or docu drama comes out from the OTHER point of view. Too bad it didn't get more awards or money.
plainmnms2005 There is no quality in his character allows me to accept Dennis Quaid's shooting spree at a mosque. Then, when his colleague justifiably kills one of the wounded Muslims who was going to kill Quaid, I am baffled as to why he should then choose to run away with Quaid in tow and become a true criminal like Quaid, even going so far as to join the French Foreign Legion with him. It's an absurd beginning. Another example of awful logic is after the young woman has her baby, it gets cleaned up, and she and Quaid are on the lam together, the baby cries incessantly because it's hungry. Instead of encouraging the mother to breast-feed her infant, Quaid goes to outrageous lengths to feed it milk, even fashioning a nipple out of a condom when he can't find the nipple (bad dialog moment: "Where's the goddamn nipple!?"). Things truly become absurd when, on discovering the milk is almost gone, he shouts at the mother (who had been drinking the milk) "Have you been drinking the milk!?" Then, he chases down a goat in a nearby field and tries in vain to milk it. Maybe it was meant as comic relief in an otherwise gruesome movie. In any event, I forced myself to watch the entire movie because I wanted to see how truly bad it could become, which, by the end, was quite awful.
eject_hunter i have seen many many movie in my life about war and human atrocities but i have never before seen anything like this it was a memorable experience and i have already recommended lots of my friends to watch the movie. the good thing about this movie is that it show both sides of the story and really tells that is not religion, ethnicity but our own will which makes and destroys.this movie is a real eye opener, its one of those movies that really should be distributed for free just for the sake of humanity and i have personally already donated 2 copies of this to my nearest libraries, i highly recommend you watch it. i hope there were more movies like these so at least we could give some education to the coming generations
