Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Loses in translation
I'm a Bosnian Muslim but I truly feel this movie is pure gold. Although I disagree with some of the ideas that movie is trying to convince us, the movie is great. The acting, dialog and action is great. THE BAD PART IS THAT IT LOSES IN TRANSLATION. THE MOVIE IS TRAGI-COMEDY AND THE DIALOGUE IS GREAT BUT UNFORTUNATELY IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO TRANSLATE IT INTO ENGLISH. THAT'S WHY A LOT OF PEOPLE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO WATCH IT AND APPRECIATE IT FOR HOW GOOD IT REALLY IS. SORRY FOR A LOT OF CAPS.

The relationship between the Serb and Muslim boyhood-friends-turned-enemies should be the crux of the movie but it is never adequately explored.

It is no different than every other movie on the Bosnian war, with the exception of No Man's Land. It does not show the geopolitical ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The Simple Truth
I found the movie thought provoking. One line in the movie said "War is a Whore". I don't think it could be more well stated. Yes, translation was a bit rough around the edges so I'm sure some verbal effects were lost, but I don't think it detracted from the movie. A little hard to watch. But truth is often not kind.
