Featured review
I am deeply impressed by this movie for several reasons.
This movie succeeds in conveying the true horror and struggle of the war on IS for the locals - but not by using famous actors, over-the-top stylish action scenes, western "Good vs. Bad" morals or anything Hollywood usually does.
A simple (and partially real) plot, atmospheric score, an authentic look and feel and, most importantly, no "cool" choreographed fight scenes. War is frightening, chaotic and terrible, mistakes are being made, moral codes are blurred and innocent people getting harmed and killed just because they are at the wrong place at the wrong time.
Mosul simply depicts these things - and from my point of view (as a lucky guy from Germany) helps to understand a bit better the sheer terror in some areas of the Middle East.... Without the obligatory Hollywood Western Army strolling in and saving the day in the end...
Watch this movie and really focus on it - oh, and you should try to watch the movie in Arabic with the according subtitles as you will be emerged even more.
