War/history movie buffs, this is a treat. We follow a Russian tank crew after a ruthless but botched up slaughter of a village during the USSR invasion of Afghanistan (approx. 1985). Tank (t55) gets hit, no more radio, tank gets lost in the barrens vs mujahideen.
As the crew of 5 struggles throughout the wastelands and belligerent natives, we witness the disintegration of doctrines while humanity takes the upper hand.
Poised, beautiful and cruel, this is one of the most touching yet realistic war movies I have yet seen. Displaying unbelievable landscapes, excellent music and impressive acting, this film is as good as classics such as Paths of Glory, Platoon or Full Metal Jacket.
One of the best yet unknown war movies there is, with a very profound humane message. Deserves more praises than it got.
