8/10
A human story
20 June 2010
Warning: Spoilers
If you're looking for a political view point on child soldiers and ongoing conflicts in Africa this isn't the film you're looking for.

This is a human film with human nuances. For some it will appear as a senseless violent romp.

I saw children losing their innocence through situations they had no control over. Forced to shoot family members to save their lives initiated them into the unit. With persistent brain washing and promises of magic charms to protect them and a financial future they did their duty as they were taught. They were the true believers of the cause and embarked upon a barbaric journey wrestling with guilt and childish thoughts.

Mad Dog betrayed by his superiors and his naive of the view future shattered tried to deny and justify his past actions in the refugee camp. His clumsy attempt at trying to woo the girl failed, essentially causing the caring angel to violence and the final loss of her innocence.
