A Depiction Of The Ineffective U.N.

Rating: 5/10 (2 July 2006)

This Serbo-Croatian film (with English subtitles) was a somewhat interesting story of a couple of soldiers on opposite sides in the Bosnian war who wind up in the same trench (hence, "No Man's Land") and the United Nations officials who try to rescue them. (Have you noticed how the UN "tries" but rarely succeeds in anything?)
The film is a bit talky but there is some action and every time it borders on starting to bore it switches gears to keep the viewer's interest.....all the way to up to finding out what happens at the end. Saying that, I wouldn't recommend buying this, but it's worth a rental. One look is enough. I am glad it points out what I mentioned before: how sadly ineffective the United Nations is, a real farce of an organization which is a shame.
The movie isn't all Serbs and Muslims speaking in their tongue. There is English spoken, mainly by a British TV reporter, and there is some French by the UN personnel. In all, a curiosity piece of sorts.
