It felt more like a documentary than a war drama.

Rating: 6/10 (16 January 2015)

Such an incredible story that was interpreted to screen in such a mediocre way. The movie had what any movie should have to be great, but it turned out a little loose, some parts took too long than it needed and some other parts that went through unnoticed. Flashback/flash-forward sequences were awkward, acting wasn't on the level, directing wasn't as good as regular war movies but then again let's cut Angelina a break (it's her 1st big movie). All and all, I think this movie lack a definition, as it didn't define itself, it's neither a motivational "all-in" type of war movies nor a "deep thoughts/let's think about life" type of war drama.. It just failed to hit some nerves. Still it's a fairly good movie, it could've been a little shorter than 137 minutes though.
