    Right side

    Movies can have different versions - so I was a bit surprised when I read something about two hours I won't get back. The movie is only 90 minutes long, which is 1.5 hours, for anyone who is counting. On the other hand, if you are not having a good time (no pun intended), than time may seem way slower. As in actual time and time experienced differ.

    Which also is quite true about the actual people and what they went through. It's not that we didn't know certain things, but war is always crazy ... and seeing "heroics" in the face of danger (and death) is something that we either cherish to watch (and applaud those involved) or be annoyed by it I reckon.

    Well shot and well acted, but not a masterpiece by a long shot. Still more than decent.

    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.

    Realy good independant film

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

    A nice flick

    Showing one of the last big battles in Slovenia between the Nazis and the local partisans during WW2. Considering the extremely low budget (cca. 40.000 $) the movie is surprisingly good.

    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.
