Hard, good war drama.

Rating: 8/10 (10 January 2006)

It seems no matter the nation or ideology, you put a bunch of men together and madness occurs naturally. In this movie, the horror, but most of all the stupidity of war is made obvious, while telling the story of two brothers forcefully drafted into the army and that are trying to survive taking care of each other.
The movie is very well made, even the special effects, the actors play very nice, even the extras, while the story itself is captivating and emotional. After watching this movie you will probably hate war with all your heart.
There is no point in revealing the plot. In itself it is not very surprising and the big story is pretty clear from the beginning. The details, though, make this movie and I highly recommend it to people of all ages. Some scenes are too theatrical, but they are only an exception.
The only warning I give is that this is a rather long movie and being highly military it will probably annoy or bore the average woman. Try watching it by yourself or with the guys. It is worth every minute.
