On the one hand, "Voyna" (called "War" in English) seems like a cliché: the enemy - in this case the Chechens - kidnap some people, and a Russian soldier is sent back to try and get the ransom; when he can't, he has to turn into one bad mother.
Granted, that sounds like something that we'd expect out of Hollywood. But "Voyna" does have a certain interesting aspect, something that I can't quite describe. If this movie has a problem, I guess that it mainly lies in the whole issue of Chechnya. Wouldn't it be better for Russia's government just to let it become independent? Oh well. That's just my opinion. See what you think.
