One of the best

Rating: 10/10 (13 February 2020)

I have never been to war, but experienced my share of life-threatening situations, including facing the wrong end of a gun. Watching this movie almost felt like the real deal, it let me glimpse the human condition in war. Ruthless reality coming at you too fast to allow pondering on your emotions, having to tuck it all away in order to stay alert, in order not to die. The randomness of who gets to live and who doesn't. One second your companion stands beside you, the next he is dying, and then on. Trying to focus on what is relevant in the now and here, and not losing focus on where you need to go. The actors deliver a brilliant performance in conveying this struggle convincingly. Additionally, brilliant screenplay and cinematography. One of the best movies I have ever watched.
