No Man's Land 2001


No Man's Land     A Bosnian soldier and a Serbian soldier confront each other in a trench between their lines in a "no man's land" area.  The upper hand goes back and forth, it depends upon who has the gun, they are waiting for dark.  Both are injured with bullet wounds, one in the shoulder and the other in the stomach.  Another wounded Bosnian regains consciousness and they discover there is a bouncing mine underneath him.  None of the men know how to diffuse the bomb, there is no choice but dress his arm wound and leave him on the bomb.  The UN comes but their mission is not to intervene in the conflict, they can't diffuse the bomb either.
    This is not very good, at least it is not very long!!  It is barely worth reading the subtitles and not worth the 98 minutes.  I had a hard time paying attention.   2* (I didn't like this movie)  


98 min, Drama directed by Danis Tanovic with Brank Djuric, Rene Bitorajac, Filip Sovagovic, Georges Siatidis, Serge-Henri Valcke, Sacha Kremer, Alain Eloy, Simon Callow, Mustafa Nadarevic.


Note:  Blockbuster 3 1/2*, imdb 8.0 out of 10, 93% critic 92% audience on Rotten Tomatoes
