🎬 MovieFinder's Take

War cinema that doesn't strip the romance from war — it removes it entirely. The director shows the cost, not the victory. Heavy, honest, necessary.

Heavy cinema and it should be heavy. A light touch on this material is a lie. The filmmakers understand that.

Good for watching with someone ready for a serious conversation afterward.

Director: Antoine Fuqua
