A quietly searing drama about morality, priorities, and absolute truth.

Feb 16, 2016After a rather clumsy first hour that feels a bit too static and even predictable in its unfolding, this great naturalistic war drama surprisingly grows in its second half to raise intelligent and relevant questions about the kind of ugly decisions a good soldier can make in the line of fire.Carlos M Super Reviewer
