About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a tense, on-the-ground war thriller focused on journalists and civilians under fire, similar in spirit to Home of the Brave or Man Down; Not for you if you dislike graphic violence or political bias.
Pros: intense war-zone urgency; strong action moments; striking locations | Cons: feels politically one-sided; confusing story flow; heavy clichés
