Film Journal International
Despite some missteps, No Man's Land is a shrewd film that provides a persuasive picture of how small conflicts can escalate into all-out war.

It's less about battlefields and weaponry than it is about personality conflicts and the agonizing frustration that boils inside people who want to put positive changes into effect, but are too entangled in red tape to do much of anything.

No Man's Land is the superior version of Russell's slightly overrated Three Kings.
UK Critic
Makes us laugh and frustrates us at the same time.

No Man's Land does not carry the same impact as the heavyweight war torn social consciousness satires such as M*A*S*H, but it does sway in that direction as an ardently funny antiwar statement with a sense of chaotic artistry.
