Solid War Movie

Rating: 8/10 (17 March 2001)

What really "made" this movie was the authentic seeming atmosphere. No one was elegantly groomed except for those in positions of power. Dirt and blood and devastation abounded. Jude Law does an excellent job of acting without speaking much. Even he manages to look grubby most of the time -- and for someone who first saw him in 'Gattica' that seemed darn near impossible. I'm not a big fan of love triangles, but they managed to not mess up the movie with this one. Applause for all involved. I just thank my lucky stars that I was not born into that conflict myself -- I'd be one of the dead ones, I'm sure.
