I am very interested in history and that's why I checked this series...Not it is very inacurate, it is pathetic with dialogs and full of mistakes. When 80 and over old producer wants to make something in tribute to his country, better not. I understand that Croats had difficult times, but this depiction is idiotic, it makes all actors like idiots, though some great names, including Visnjic, are included (nevertheless, he's is producer's son in law, working for free).
It doesn't tell you anything about croat liberation in 90s, just some video slideshow with realy, again, pathetic dialogs and acting, making viewer to doubt in most events, included in movie. Second, it makes viewer feel like naive idiot. Actualy only in just one scene is worth mention, when croat soldier takes serbian soldier in wheelbarrow and they are talking about nonsense of war. All the rest...
Why second worst movie? Because it is so bad it can not even reach top spot!

This is a propaganda movie made by extremly incompetent people. Life of Ante Gotovina can be made into a very good movie. For some, he is a hero and for others, a war criminal. This is good movie material because it provides a lot of grey areas to explore. Here however, there are no grey areas, Gotovina is depicted as a flat, one dimensional hero with no flaw. Inspiration is obviously drawn from ex-Yugoslav partisan movies, war spectacles that used to be made in the 60-ies and 70-ies. While those were also propaganda films, technically they were well made. It's not the case here, acting is terrible, production cheap and unconvincing, dialogues and action scenes are ridiculous. Looks as if it was made on budget, however it recived generous funding from Croatia's public money sack. Half of the money dissappeard before it reached the set, obviously, and also some of the actors claim they weren't paid for their work. Seeing this movie will tell you more about Croatia today, than about our independence war. And what you will get to see is not nice, I'm afraid.
This was possibly the worst movie I have seen. It really goes nowhere.
If you have ever wondered what an old Elvis love movie would be like if it was played by James Bond then this will clear it up for you.
Every sentence in the movie was a metaphor, you jump about 50 timelines between different shots. He does nothing all movie so it's a surprise he went to jail in the first place. The movie is about him doing nothing and cheating a few times. If you are interested in learning about the war, don't watch this.
Not only is it punishing to watch, it goes for hours...
We went to the screening and 2 people clapped at the end. The person next to me said "I feel bad not clapping because someone put effort into this"
I am stronger person for getting through this "movie"

Disputable story, just one sided, bad lines, visibly fake filming set. The only thing in the movie is acting of Visnjic, who obviously did his best under such circumstances...
