- gerithecaton TMDB · Jun 20128/10
outstanding thriller. compelling and violent depiction of the Bosnian conflict from the eyes of a broken professional soldier discovering his life again after personal tragedy and rage. based on true events, this is a powerful and moving drama, also Quaids best performance to date.
