About
If you want a gritty, high-stakes war action story with a strong point of view and bursts of intense violence, this may work for you; Not for you if you dislike propaganda-tinged takes or confusing pacing, and it’s often compared to The Outpost.
Pros: intense action set pieces; emotional wartime stakes; lesser-known conflict focus | Cons: heavy political bias; messy, confusing pacing; uneven dialogue and acting
