A group of Spanish soldiers is sent to Kosovo during the armed conflict between the Serbs and the Albanians on a humanitarian mission to restore electricity to war-torn towns. Although they intend to stay out of the war, the soldiers are pulled inexorably into the devastating bloodshed when they are unexpectedly attacked. Forced to fight in order to survive, they find their idealism starting to falter, and the line between right and wrong growing uncomfortably fuzzy.

walter m @Harlequin68 10/09/2010 In 1999, a platoon of Spanish soldiers is stationed in Kosovo, after the war is apparently over. Instead of patrolling the streets or doing something else military, they are left with refurbishing a church. While there, Private Vidal(Eloy Azorin) breaks the non-intervention rule by trying to save the life of a man he saw kidnapped but to no avail as he gets his butt kicked not only by the killers but also his fellow soldiers for trying to get them killed. For a change of pace, Lieutenant Alonso(Eduardo Noriega) feels it would be good for his men go to a nearby village to restore the electricity. So, of course, something goes wrong... "Warriors" is a gritty movie about the futility of war and how one single mistake can ruin everybody's day. The movie gets off to a weak start before gradually improving. However, the simple story is loaded down with details that are irrelevant to the main plot.(Sadly, we are only supposed to care about the NATO soldiers. Everybody else is extraneous.) And a confusing ending does not help. See more 07/13/2010 the charm of becoming a soldier...and even worst, go with NATO or UN undercover. The movie might have some reality mistakes on who was the "good" and the "bad" side, but still, reflects the mixture that these war was/is. See more 01/29/2010 Rough but true, ugly but magnificent, innocent but guilty... surprisingly good film. The only mistake is the accent of the french...the rest is pure war madness. See more 02/07/2009 i believed and expected more... the film turns out almost forgetable See more 11/12/2008 Review will be written when/if re-watched (Probability: Zero). First viewing: 29.01.2003 See more 09/06/2008 Film de guerre sympa, mais décisions pas très judicieuses tout le long du film qui le rendent finalement peu crédible. See more Read all reviews
