A good movie that is worth a watch but it seemed to try to hard to get emotions out of you. I give it a B-

Rating: 6/10 (16 March 2012)

"My name is Danijel, I'm a criminal of war." During the Bosnian war the Serbs would go town to town and kill the men and take the women. When a Serb soldier named Danijel meets someone he once knew and is torn between his feelings for her and his duty to country. This is a very difficult movie to review. I did like this but it had a few big flaws. One of which was that it seemed to try to hard. I know that Angelina Jolie is huge into drawing attention to this type of atrocity but after awhile it was like "I get it, it was bad, please stop showing rapes." This is a tough movie to watch but I will say that the fighting scenes and the acting were very good. I almost feel bad not liking it (which goes back to my comment about it trying to hard), but it seemed to lack real emotion to me. Instead of letting it come naturally you are almost forced to feel bad for the girl and to me that kind of loses what I think the real point of the movie was. I do recommend it but be ready for it. Overall, a good movie but it tried way to hard to create emotion which to me hurt the movie. I give it a B-.
