    Haven't seen a fail movie in a while!

    So many ridiculous scenes happened in this movie. For example, this one guy was down then the other guy got a chance to have a shot at him but then he didn't do it. Then next thing you know the first guy somehow got an opportunity to get a shot at the other guy. This type of scenario happened probably 3 or 4 times again and again just ridiculous. Just do it already! Like come on.

    In addition, the accent is really funny like many reviewers on here mentioned. The actor tried too hard and he seems to fail at it.

    Waste of 1hr 30mins seriously and I gave this movie a 5/10 rating since it has some suspense scenes to it.

    Not a masterpiece but it's watchable!

    Apart from the angry folks from the countries that the movie depicts, that gave 1/10 to this movie, it's a nice movie overall.

    It's not a masterpiece and it's actually right on the path of the movies that De Niro has been doing for the past few years. Despite it not being great, I really liked it for what it is. It's supposed to be a thriller with two war veterans and it's just that. It's nothing ingenious but it's a totally decent movie that would be a 6.5 in my book.

    Travolta was good, De Niro is always great cause I adore him as an actor! The action was as much as I wanted, the scenes of the fighting were really realistic and kept me at the edge of my seat. Even this back and forth thing that one was freed and the other was freed and so on and so forth, was nicely done and was not tiring.

    It's a nice rental for a relaxed week night, with some pop corn or a pizza, if you can handle eating with bloody scenes!

    A movie that could have been very good

    For starters, the movie gets absolutely everything wrong about events of the Bosnian war, but since such ignorance is expected from Hollywood, there is no reason to hold it against this particular title.

    The premise of the movie is good, the basic story is decent, but the script could have been better written, the two main characters' stories never get satisfyingly developed. If this was directed by John McTiernan as originally planned, this would have been a great movie. Sadly, instead we got the guy who did Daredevil and he once again delivered a bland, uninspiring product. Acting is OK, Travolta did his best to hold a consistent accent (it was the wrong accent, but hey!) throughout the movie, while DeNiro looked more like he was only concerned with the paycheck.

    All in all, the movie is not terrible, I guess it wouldn't kill you to watch it if you have nothing better to do for an hour and a half. The sad part is that this could have been a much, much better movie, perhaps even a classic.

    Another one...

    And here comes another one from Hollywood. I ll be short because its mine first review.

    Plot mistake - "one American and one Serbian" OK lets see about this - on poster there are 2 guys,main actors. So probably plot is about them,because Deniro's name is American i presume that Travolta is acting that Serb guy. So lets get a little attention on that EMIL KOVAČ As far as i remember Emil is so common Muslim name and Kovač is also more commoner Croatian surname. Where the heck do you see Serbian there. The more funnier thing is that this is movie about Bosnian war LOL

    Like some croatio-bosnian will fight for Serbs ,yea right.

    I am aware that Hollywood is not History channel,but come on...get some facts at least for maincharacter names.

    what history? :)

    Just a short comment for all the people complaining about the history facts.

    There wasn't a Serbian Army? true that.. but there where: Arkanovi Tigrovi (Srpska dobrovoljacka garda), Knindze, Crvene beretke, Skorpioni, Seseljevi dobrovoljci, Dusan silni, Beli orlovi (Seseljevci, Osvetnici, Cetnici), Srpski sokolovi, Siltovi and many many more.. and they where not Japanese or chineese or Canadian people. It is to hard to understand to foreign ppl and learn all of them.. so they can say just "serbian army", even officially it wasn't their name.

    Please look at the big picture and do not stick to these 2 words.

    Travolta's Serbian slang is not perfect but he is acting good. I am sure Serbian actors don't speak perfect English to.

    If is a movie. Not the greatest one but still a movie and no one said it is based on a true story.

      In the final scene, as Ben exits and taxi and climbs the stairs to his son's front door, he is limping significantly on his left leg although it's his right leg that was injured.
    • Quotes

      Benjamin Ford: Are you proud of what you did? Or maybe you don't want to forget.

      Emil Kovac: Sometimes things become part of you, whether you want them to or not.

    • Crazy credits
      Being the actual footage only 80 minutes long, the film contains a slow paced, 10 minutes end credits sequence to enlarge the overall running time of the movie.
