Aroview: Laying aside the usual sympathies, this American war-drama pursues a tense running-battle between a Soviet tank-crew and Afghani guerillas during the 1980s conflict, and discovers various brute essentials of war. Filmed in Israel, this summons a convincingly alien atmosphere, with good, if standard, roles for George Dzundza, Jason Patric, Stephen Baldwin and Steven Bauer. Based on the stageplay “Nanawatu”
