SaviorQuaid plays a US marine whose family is blown up by Islamic fundamentalists. So he hops off to Bosnia-Herzegovina to join the Chetniks and gun down the infidel Turk. Cruelty is the subject of Antonijevic's wrong-headed melodrama, an incompetent mix of anti-war moralizing, raw violence and crass Euro-thriller spills. Though the director is a former political prisoner who saw the horrors of the Bosnian conflict first-hand, all Savior proves is that being a witness to atrocity doesn't qualify you to make intelligent films about the subject. You can't illustrate the dark futilities of war with a script that Jean-Claude Van Damme might have thumbed his nose at.
