What I enjoyed about the movie was the potentially realistic (I am lucky not to have experienced war to-date although I'm a trained infantryman) portrayal of being in the middle of a war - the lack of information, the shared and often times quiet agony of not knowing what will happen next, taking chances to stay alive and escape almost certain death from an overpowering enemy with a strategic advantage, the struggle between competing and cooperating with fellow survivors, the unseen enemy that shatters the languor with ferocious bursts of gunfire.
PS: I checked out your blog. You are a huge movie fan!
Very well thought-out comment, bud. Yes, it's the horror of the unknown that is the crux of fear in war. Your life may end literally any second so the guts and determination needed to pull yourself out of such an ordeal deserves huge merit. Slotting ourselves into their shoes for just one moment helps for a clearer picture overall.
Thanks... :)
