“Once that first bullet goes past your head, politics and all that shit just goes right out the window.”
This feels the most real of any infantry film I’ve seen — overwhelming odds, in a country where you don’t speak the language, not entirely sure why you’re there or why you’re killing people, and you can’t identify whether the people staring at your are civilians or potential soldiers, it’s a perfect description of the recent wars, held up by great direction and fantastic acting from a cast that’s miles deep.
