Harsh C Too much stupid to warrant analysis. Basically don't watch if you're looking for a serious war movie. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/07/24 Full Review Troy V This was a great movie. I could see The same scenario happening to American soldiers with a crazy tank commander. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/01/24 Full Review Jimmy H Philosophical in tone, but lacking a coherent philosophy, the end result is a totally plot driven art film. It's about the characters, it's about Afghanistan, it's about Russia, but it's not really about any of those things. An adaptation of the play Nanawatai, it finds itself in a stylistic no-man's land between stage-play and film. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 07/22/24 Full Review Read all reviews
