Movie Reviews of No Man's Land
Movie Review: Perhaps the best movie on Modern War
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an excellantmovie on the insanity of war but it is much more than that. It is also the amazing ineptness and weakness of the UN forces. Perhaps the greatest achievement of the film is the intimate protrayal of the Balkan situation. The madness of the ideas of ethnic cleanliness which can be found in all the countries of the Balkans is a difficult thing to portray in film. This could only have been done by a native of the pennisula who understands its problem. The only real drawback is that the translation of the English subtitles are not as exact as I would have liked but that doesnt really detract from the film as a whole.Movie Review: Great film, must see
Summary: 5 Stars
I'll spare you a plot overview; you can get that from any of there other reviews here. But I will say this is an absolutely brilliant film. It's a war movie, yet it's not your run-of-the-mill "hack n' slash gore fest." It doesn't just string one battle sequence into the next as Hollywood delights in doing. This film actually tells a meaningful story and the characters here are people, not just "soldiers" (there's a big difference). It's insightful, it doesn't try to make some over-the-top political statement, and it doesn't seem to have any radical agenda which would turn viewers away. Overall, I'd highly recommend this movie.Movie Review: No Man's Land
Summary: 5 Stars
This dark, satiric Serbo-Croatian film won the 2001 Oscar for Best Foreign Film. Built around the tense standoff between Chiki and Nino, we view their bizarre predicament not just as two enemies who must help each other to survive, but also through the eyes of impotent U.N. representatives on the scene, and, of course, the omnipresent media. By turns bleak, frightening, and funny, "No Man's Land" is an ingenious piece of work, as it delivers yet another new and original slant on war's futility.Movie Review: Modern War Masterpiece
Summary: 5 Stars
A war picture so realistic, you're almost practically sitting watching from the trenches,witnessing - as two opposing enemy soldiers clash and collide, each man thinks only of one thing - and that is survival. This film is filled with action,humour,intensity,exceptional acting and expert direction. Winner of an Academy award for best foreign film, NO MAN'S LAND is a great accomplishment in the motion picture field and is a wartime masterpiece,subtitled.Movie Review: Amazing
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw it on HBO about four to five years ago and thought it was the best way to portray a hypothetical situation in a real world environment. So many messages can be taken and it's all up to the audience, not the director, which makes it even more mystifying and nostalgic. Other people who whine about how it did in the awards gave it less than five stars, but don't let these wusses speak for it. Just rent it and watch it - you'll realize that you'd want it on DVD.
