If there have to be vanity projects about modern war and warfare they may as well be done by soldiers that actually participated in the bloodshed. Otherwise movies of this caliber (and stress level - this movie is intentionally intense) are down right perverse at this point. A tight 96 minutes of real-time chaos, torment, pain, and unbelievable bravery, from a young group of men performing in a war that never should’ve occurred in the first place.

The final shots are haunting alone, but when you take in the historical elements of how all of this loss and suffering were ultimately for nothing… I mean, fuck me….
