Firstly I must let you know that I am from Kosovo, former republic of Yugoslavia, right now it is under UNMIK administration. It hasn't been a long time ago since the war ended here, and certainly neither since the war on Bosnia acured.
Now back to the film: this movie is about two friends since the childhood with different nationality and different religion, but the way the circumstances are each of them must fight for their country. All that right said is very ok with me!
Now the movie itself consists some good thought camera shots and a few nice scenes but other than that it is historically inaccurate and pointless though is consists a good message to all the viewers. Now the main and a huge flaw is that this movie was in english, with guys from different nationalities in it. I mean how many best friends born and raised in France do talk english with each other? How many German families talk English all the time? And how many soldiers from a specified country(non english native language) speak in English like the one at the beggining when the Serbian soldiers pull over the car of the muslim family? This is deeply incorrect and unbased at nothing. A little bit smaller flaws: 1. Firstly the Serbians didn't lead a war with snipers, they always captured every city with tanks, bombing and fighting but never included snipers.
2. Serbian police uniforms are not correct. 3. Vlado is not a muslim name (I'm a muslim myself) 4. The war at Bosnia didn't begin in Sarajevo as told in the movie, Sarajevo was the last city to be attacked from Serbian forces.
I could go on and on, but it's not worth it. Anyway the movie had a very respectable direction, but I can guarantee you that the movie itself is not based on a true story. Rating: 6/10
