    Realy good independant film

    Modern days lack these type of films. This could be the renesance of the YU partizan film.

    boring and pathetic

    One of the worst movies i've ever seen. Dialogues are terrible, story is partly unlogical (you do not waste your last morphine for those, who have NO chance to survive).

    The storyteller reminds me of the film "300" but there that was meant humorous and therefor funny, but here they mean it serious and that is just absolutely awful pathetic, unwillingly (not) funny - like 300 for the poor ;-).

    And last but not least: EXTREMELY boring.

    Don't watch - complete waste of time.

    Why did I watch this?

    2 hours I'll never get back. It went on and on. I hate to say this but I would've been OK if he died in the first half hour.

    the sunny side of war crimes

    A weird picture that on some specialized sites somehow got mixed in with proper good South Korean production. It seems to want to offer a new take on Eastern European partisans during WW2. The rag tag communist paramilitaries are usually known for blind adherence to ideology, robbing poor farmers and war crimes but here they're trying to tell us they also had a human side so they're shown performing a series of mundane and, for the viewer, increasingly boring tasks such as mending socks, cooking soup or reading books. A bit of action is then thrown in, with the obligatory flame throwing Nazis but it all falls flat. I understand the movie had a meagre budget but that's no excuse for stereotypical characters, dull dialogue and wooden acting, all in all it has the air of amateurism written all over it, best skipped.

    What was this about?

    Didn't care for this because nothing was explained. I had no idea what this battle was about. The director should have used captions to set it up. Plus, terrible acting snd direction. Boring scenes, slow lingering camera shots. No plot, no character development. I'm sure in hindsight that this was an important battle, so it deserved better storytelling. Boring. Pass!
