    Gritty and hard hitting.

    The acting was superb, I found the whole thing very emotional to watch and that's unusual for me watching a film. It reminded me of films like Dead Mans Shoes and Just a Boys Game.

    Excellent.

    A Soldier's Redemption

    Martin,

    A profound film.

    None of us knows how we will respond - no matter the extent of our training- until we are actually under fire for the first time.

    In this film, you have illustrated a way out of shame, guilt and self-loathing to the redemptive space where we can (no matter our experiences and responsibilities in war operations) find reason to continue to live and have a hope for peace in our hearts.

    Penitent Bosnia

    A truly outstanding and thorough account of the war in Bosnia. Served in Bosnia 1994 and brought back a few memories from the tour.

    A place that was in complete turmoil and the aftermath complete shambles there.

    Producers actors alike very professional and showed the dark horrid side of ptsd that many of us have endured. Well done mr Webster and co bravo guys and girls Tomo Ex Royal Anglian Op Grapple 4.

    Great watch!

    This was remarkably structured. I was very impressed by the cast and story being told here. Very well done to all. Recommend to all keen, real life war lovers, powerful but very real action.

    Wow, what a great watch, so thought provoking

    I loved this film, so much went on that is not known about it, I have spoken to mates who were there, I have also spoken to people from the region. Such a powerful subject and sad time. The scars may have healed but this film highlights the ongoing plight of all those concerned. Well done to all those who payed a part in putting this film together . This is a must watch.
