If you are fighting against those who oppress and terrorize, I think it is safe to say that it can be assumed that you are a good guy (or gal of course, but in this case it's male only - don't hold that against the movie, try to enjoy it). And this is not just gritty, but feels as realistic as it can get. The locations, the effects - everything melts together and makes a war movie that is as good as anything coming from the US of A.
And it is refreshing to see a different perspective, different looking good guys than the ones we might get served or got served. Broaden your horizon and watch this, you will not be dissapointed. We get thrown in right away, with a dire situation and a new police guy who meets a group of people - a band of brothers of sorts. And they are on a mission ... what mission? Well an important one, though you could claim that it is also a McGuffin in the story.
The movie is one of two that were made with the same title. I've only seen this so far, but I reckon they are more or less both based on the same story/structure/people involved. Fascinating and enganging, even if you don't learn everything about them, certain things are universal - not just the fight good vs evil, but other moral and ethical decisions along the way! No pun intended.
