A satirical critique of Serbo-Bosnian war *SPOILERS*

Rating: 8/10 (24 July 2002)

*SPOILERS* A black comedy in which no group involved is left unscathed. With the people on either side fighting their neighbors for reasons they don't know, and not being able to resolve anything themselves. The outside elements either being too image conscious to get its hand dirty as in the UN, or as in the case of the international press, too into getting the latest breaking story at the expense of exploiting the people who are suffering. The end result is that people on both sides of the war suffer tragically. The surviving soldier is secretly left to die by the UN as if it is turning a blind eye to the atrocities that is going on.
Too many people get caught up in the cliche and lack of character development, but this is a movie that uses the characters to symbolize what happened during the war instead of the personal plight of a few of soldiers.
Overall, a very good movie.
