This film is not bad
The story follows the events in Belgrade of 24 March 1999 year. People, displaced from their everyday lives to underground shelter, are intertwined with a TV reporter during the bombing of Yugoslavia by NATO forces.
This film, unlike its spiritual sequel, Nebeska Udica (both films feature a plot about NATO's attack on Yugoslavia as well as the actor Nebojsa Glogovac who performed the lead roles in both films), received very low ratings on IMDb and harsh reviews from the IMDb users. Despite the fact that the film is getting the undeserved disrespect from imdb users, I will not say that the low ratings for this film were put on purpose. All I want to say is that the film was filmed on a pretty high-quality level. In particular, I liked the camera work of the film, performed in mostly dark colors and various angles. I did not expect such a qualitative picture, because the country in which the film was shot was in a very difficult economic situation, it was quite unexpected to see the film so well set in terms of shooting. Among other advantages I would like to highlight the very atmospheric music score written by Zoran Khristik, as well as the good acting of the entire cast of actors, in particular Vera Cukic, Dragana Turkalj, Zarko Lausevic and above mentioned Nebojsa Glogovac, who played the role of TV reporter. Among the minor disadvantages, I could mention the places of primitive special effects, especially noticeable at the very beginning of the film.
All in all, it's a good dramatic thriller, which shows that its creators tried to make a great movie and not "The worst picture ever made!". If you like movies based on military conflicts, you definitely should give a chance to this one. And while this film may be less ambitious than "Nebeska Udica", much more popular film of the same topic, Ranjena zemlja is not a bad film by any means.
