Nothing but clean true

As a kid who survived NATO bombing '99 Yugoslavia I can only say that anyone who watch this movie will see what we have gone through. They maybe served you other picture on news all over the world, but the real truth lays in this movie. Movie has some hard scenes, be prepared to everything. For brutality and not hiding those scenes I give 9.5 rating. Something that Hollywood will never make.

Great movie

This is a great movie about things that happend in war and before and after the war in Kosovo, actually just a little part of it. Maybe Serbs and Russians aren't heroes, but one thing is definitely true, Serbs were just defending they're own piece of territory from the Kosovo Albanians terrorists. The killing and torturing were done by Albanians and by Serbians, but Albanians started the war because they wanted to take over Serbian territory.

Rare movie with such good quality!!!

Balkan Line (Balkanskiy rubezh) is a film aimed at more serious viewers. It depicts events similar to those that actually took place in the former Yugoslavia. Although mostly action and warlike, the film captures the emotional side of the event, but in a serious and realistic way. Overall, the film manages to excel in all aspects, leaving a strong impression on the viewer.
