What a good surprise this movie was -- I didn't think they made 'em like this anymore. It's a kind of French "Raid On Entebbe", but even better for having been based on a hitherto unknown real event.
Except for Perez and Balasko, the cast are unknowns (at least to me), but the acting -- especially Alban Lenoir (Gérval), Olga Kurylenko (the teacher) and David Murgia (Lorca) -- is excellent.
See this movie -- it's poignant, thrilling and inspiring. Bravo to all involved.

I watched this clever little film with a growing interest of where it was taking me, then BAM! I could never have guessed the ending! A very thoughtful, unusual tale, misdirected as a horror film, with mysterious twists and turns throughout.
The underlying subject matter of the film, the allegations that men were left behind in the jungles of Asia after the Vietnam War had ended, is poignantly handled and cleverly dealt with, right up to the final scene.
An excellent movie.
