Captivating movie !

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

This was by far the best made-for-TV movie I have ever seen.Totally politically (in)correct in its rightful criticism of the rules of engagement of the UN 'peacekeepers' mandate in the Bosnian war, this movie boldly goes on to depict the harsh reality of what the war was really like and what it was about. For somebody who has intimate first-hand knowledge of the happenings, of the people involved and of the land where it transpired, I cannot but be awed by the realism and truthfulness of this film. Everything has been done perfectly, right down to the local actors who are all faithfully who they claim to be, real Bosnians, speaking with their local colloquial accents, not just some second-hand stand-ins summoned from god knows where on the cheap, as is usually the case nowadays. Everything in this movie is outstanding, the Direction, the screenplay, the cinematography, the acting, etc.A very powerful movie, but definitely not for those squeamish politically correct souls who abound today and who believe that the world is a peaceful, wonderful place where there is no evil and where everybody loves each other. Highly recommended.

I have purchased the DVD many and many years after the Series went out. Honestly one of most realistic movies on the Bosnian conflict I have ever seen and it hit me like a rocket. I praise a lot the acting of Matthew Macfadyen (immense scene when he wants the Croatian warlord to suck his____) and an amazing Sheila Shehovich that I realised she used to be an interpreter in Bosnia during the war! What really hit me is to see how these British soldiers suffered of PSD after coming back from Bosnia. I believe that this would have been a tremendous situation, watching people being killed and slaughtered, without being able to intervene. Probably the worst ever situation that a peacekeeping force was caught in in hystory. I will keep this DVD on the sale and maybe one day I will watch it with my daughter. I already told my wife, who is in Belgrade at the moment, that I will not allow her to watch this one at all. I know she is so sensitive about the war years, being her from the "worst" category ever that could have been during those mad years: the beautiful fruit of a pure Yugoslav socialist dream, with a Bosnian father and and a Serbian mother that loved each-other so much against all odds and survived the war fending off external forces that wanted to break off their marriage. Za Mir.

'Warriors' (Bosnië 1992, a film by Peter Kosminsky). It is about man's inhumanity to man. Set during 1992 in the war in Bosnia and how the British Army were sent over to the war in the now former Yugoslavia as UN Peacekeepers. As UN Peacekeepers, the soldiers were not allowed to open fire unless their own lives were directly threatened. However this also meant that the soldiers were powerless to interfere in events even if it meant saving innocent lives. The film portrayed Serbian soldiers taking Bosnian Muslims (young and old) away and shooting them or burning them alive in their homes. There was one scene in which one of the soldiers, who was from Liverpool (played by Matthew Macfadyen) took a 14 year old boy into the back of an army truck in order for him to escape being executed by the Serbs. However, he was ordered to hand the boy over to the Serbs by his Commanders because moving a Bosnian from one area to another was regarded as 'ethnic cleansing' (ironic?) even though it was saving the boy's life. This film is about ethnic intolerance and hatred and the international communities' lack of an adequate response (until years later).

Warriors is an excellent film concerning what we in the west would call the early stages of the ethnic cleansing....hold on, this sounds far too nice a term to describe what went on, let's be more accurate - Genocide - in the former Yugoslavia.Specifically it deals with a British detachment of observers whose sole function seems to be to convince the British people that "things were being taken care of."In reality, the Serb army and particularly the Serb paramilitaries were stepping up their campaign of murder - regardless of gender or age - which was to continue for another few years. The British government knew about it, the American government knew about it as did others but nobody wished to become involved in something that quite definately would not be a quick or easy campaign, especially considering that the people being massacred had no oil reserves.And so the soldiers assigned to this pointless duty had no mandate to help those being murdered, and were left in a position of seeing the aftermath of men, women and children dead in the street or burnt to death in their homes, or simply gone. In some cases they knew who had done these things but could do nothing about it. After a while, they rotated home and - big suprise - could'nt forget the things they had seen.One wonders if NATO had had the collective balls to attack the Serbian military at the time, how many lives would have been spared? It's a start that Milosovic is in custody, but the others need to be caught and tried, Miladic and Karadzic for a start, but the many, many hundreds that participated in this horrific deliberate revolting genocide.It really sickens me to know that there will be those that escape retribution completely, as well as there are many Serbians who vehemently refuse to believe what happened.
