I find this review offensive! I don’t agree with this review. I agree with this review.
2 stars (Good Try) The length is its undoing but it is a war crimes story worth telling. The beautiful desert backdrops the excellent action scenes. Well done to the stunt & effects people who depicted the hangings, head shots & being run over by tanks so realistically. ~Tubbs
