A differnt brand of war movie
Most menage-a-trois films are erotic thrillers that most certainly have nothing to do with war. So, this film breaks some new ground there. Of course, typically this WOULD have been a fairly happy go lucky movie. I mean, it's a pretty lucky fellow to enjoy the company of two beautiful women (played by Charlize Theron & Penelope Cruz). Unfortunately, war tends to interfere with all our plans.One of the best features of this movie is that it details the Spainish civil war. To most people this is a forgotten conflict. Outside of its depiction in Ernest Hemingway's FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS, most Americans don't know anything about it.If you're looking for a movie that can be described as both a chick-flick as well as a war movie, this one just might be for you. Yes, it also includes every man's fantasy as well, but goes way beyond that. While some aspects of it seem a bit incomplete, this is nonetheless a great film.
