This is NOT another formulaic war/action movie
I had to write a review on this movie beacause:
1) You have to be inhuman to view this as a formulaic 'seen it all before' movie 2) It is easy to forget what 'ethnic cleansing' really means - what you would face if you lived in a village being 'cleansed' 3) This is a different Bruce Willis 4) I'd not heard anything about this movie. This is an amazing movie, and the only one todate where I have immediately started to watch it again, only with the directors commentary on it. This film is not about some political message, but about the brutality faced by many Africans during the conflicts in Rwanda and Nigeria (amongst others) as part of rebel forces carrying out ethnic cleansing. You will be seriously moved by this film, and yes there is that tiny bit of cheesey 'schmultz' at one point (present in most American films), but it doesn't attract from the heart-thumping tension you will feel in the first 30mins of the film. Go and watch it - this is the best movie I have seen in 2004. |
