First review here on IMDb so I'll keep it short.
This movie is fresh in my mind as I can literally see the credits fading on the other portion of the screen.
This is a great, superbly acted movie about the horrors and futility of war. There really are no "villains" just different shades of grey, as both side is portrayed as just as guilty as the other.
It shows both sides of the war and how they are both fighting for control a small piece of land and at the same time continuously asking the question of "why?"
There are some moments of camaraderie between the two different sides as well, so it isn't all just blood and guts, yet it is more gruesome than Hollywood films.
In summary, if you want to see a good war film aside from the usual Hollywood remakes and rehashes then this one is a good one.
