I've never liked this type of film, but had expectations that this one would be different. Alas, it did not. Unreal combat scenes where the good guys always leave without a scratch, and the bad guys are left dead, or severely wounded at best. Not an entertaining storyline in sight, not a moral to take away home, nothing.
However, the rest of the audience seemed to enjoy it. Moreover, I saw it appear very high in the prize list from the public at the Rotterdam filmfestival 2011. Obviously, I miss something);-))
I can mention only one positive point, viz. the music during the non-combat scenes. As a music lover I found these very good, and supportive for the mood of the scenes it belonged to.
However, I did not hinder me from giving a 1 (lowest) as a score for the public prize of the Rotterdam filmfestival 2011 where I saw it. I suspect having been the only one, given the reactions of others during the screening, but I don't care.
