This film could be better if the editing not jumping around to and fro, the dialog should be more tight and concise, not like what we saw, full of meaningless small talks, wise-cracking jokes. The conversation among these soldiers didn't feel like they were in a battle with the Russian forces. The cannon salvos from the Russians they encountered when they tried to reach that airport looked so fake and staging. If they were spotted by the enemy, their intention and direction would be totally exposed to the Ukraine, but these guys could still reach their destination. When they reached the airport, the whole film began to fall apart. The airport didn't not look like an important must-not-fall-into-Russians strategic place, because there's nothing worth defending. These guys were like just a bunch of civilians wearing uniforms to a field tour for picnic. When they reached there, they just kept talking and talking about their personal demons and burdens, or joked around. The script just stuffed lot of small talks among these soldiers, most of the time they were just talking to each other, one guy even whistled. They didn't give you any realistic feelings that they were under siege.
This is a very boring and poorly directed film, only showed you lot of guys wearing uniforms and talked to each other non-stop. A lousy film, not worth of your time to hang on to it and kept watching. Don't be fooled by those high rating reviews; I was fooled by these 8/10 ~10/10 ratings but found out later that I've been played.
