- Made for anyone interested in what war does to people and sci-fi fans. It puts you in the middle of the fighting, and doesn't let you forget the cost. Same wavelength as The Guns of Navarone or Taking Chance.
- The mood
- Intense.
- The pace
- Lets scenes breathe, at 1 hr 46 min.
- What might put you off

A soldier suffering from PTSD befriends a young volunteer hoping to restore peaceful energy to a war-torn society.
