Dark Humor, Anti War Movie

Rating: 7/10 (1 September 2009)

Not many movies made about the war in Bosnia which ended back in 1995. For many people, that war is now ancient history and who understands what happened anyway? This independent film tackles all of the tough subjects - the human cost of war, the pointlessness of it (who started the war?), neighbor against neighbor.
There's a bit of M*A*S*H, Catch-22, political satire (at the expense of the United Nations), criticism of modern headline grabbing media. People who try to get involved and make a difference sometimes make things worse. It's a dark satire of war, not a action movie.
Some of the scenes are not realistic - the wounded walk and talk around as if they had scratches. Some of the things they do are silly. But the movie overall ridicules both sides. The ending makes some people mad, but the point is real. This is a good expose on war, one well worth watching.
