About
If you want an intense, emotional war thriller that mixes high-stakes action with a hard look at exploitation and survival, this delivers; Not for you if you avoid brutal violence or heavy themes like The Last Samurai.
Pros: gripping action; powerful performances; moving true-to-life themes | Cons: very intense violence; runs a bit long; uneven focus at times
