Director: Danis Tanović

Watched: 6/7/18

Rating: 7/10

 

Bosnians and Serbs

Three good soldiers that lack trust

One trapped on a mine

 

Unique war viewpoint

A satirical gold mine

Simple plot reveals-

 

War’s absurdity

Bureaucracy’s callousness

Media’s power

 

Lacks character depth

Acting not quite convincing

Cynical ending

 

Gripping with noble message,

But best as black comedy.
