not horrible nor great

A Brilliant Conflict

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

This is one of the - very - few war films that actually show war for what it really is, and what it means for the civilians caught up in it. There are no impressive explosions and visual effects, adrenaline-driven missions or brotherly scenes of camaraderie. This film shows humanity's dark side without flinching. Hard to stomach but highly recommended. 8 stars out of 10.In case you're interested in more underrated masterpieces, here's some of my favorites:imdb.com/list/ls070242495

I totally disliked this movie because of its untrue plot. At the beginning (possible spoiler) Quaid went into the mosque and kills everyone there. This movie was very wrong in many aspects. Firstly the Muslims were more humiliated, killed, raped, slaughtered than Croats and Serbs. Statistics says Bosniaks (who were Muslims) lost more lives than Croats and Serbs. The Bosnian war started because the bosniaks turned Muslims, the Serbs and Croats didn't like that and start killing the Muslims. There are still thousands of unmarked Muslims graves still to be found.The director should have done some research before making a movie.

This movie is simply put astounding as far as anti war emotions goes. Quaid's character actually puts you in awestruck......WOW!This is one of those films which you should see alone only in order to capture the very essence of humanity with a broader spectrum of emotion. The end narrates beautifully the everlasting battle of life & death.I was fourteen when I first saw this movie and even after 11 long years it kept me captivated in the very essence of human joyousness. I wonder why Dennis Quaid is up with the G.I.Joe thing, instead a actor of his quality should excel in doing roles which explores humanity even in the darkest quarter of life.This cinema is one fine example of story telling. A 8 out of 10 for me.

It is a very moving yet hollow looking tale of humanity that will have you feel for other people around this world. The topic is awesome as the Serbian conflict is the most vicious disturbance since ww2. The director being Serbian adds to the factor that this flick goes beyond classes and sides it is a sheer reality of us all as one, putting this place on the map for many people, as it puts Dennis on the map for me. I particularly think that it IS the best film of his so END of story, Cinematography added with beautiful scenery creates a nice contrast.If you are into war movies such as (without any order)...apocalypse now, platoon, saving private Ryan, FMJ, thin red line, enemy at the gates, etc...then this is a definite go-go and will show a side none of the above show with this tint.
