Haunting and Powerful

Rating: 9/10 (1 February 2015)

I was unsure as to what to expect from this movie. Part of me was worried I would encounter a "'murica" flick with guts flying all over the place. This movie, however, was brutal in such a tasteful way. It is a powerful story and so well told. It was about the man; not a commentary on a war, and not propaganda for a country. It is such a good "war movie" for this very reason. Furthermore, the cast could not have been better picked.
If you want to know if you should see this movie, I will only say this; at the end of the movie, the whole packed theatre left in absolute silence.
