Film, 2014Two narratives for the price of one. Unfortunately, the cautionary tale of the disastrous psychological effects of a war on the family is tucked away, only appearing like an unwanted guest when the gritty gung-ho battle scenes and tired cat-and-mouse our sniper versus their sniper trope take an occasional back seat. We're left, really, with crude flag waving nonsense with half decent acting and lots of homo erotically charged blood, sweat and tears and a biopic element realised through an especially unconvincing set of family and funeral scenes at the end.
