Comments:

Hmmm...at the beginning, i think the movie is very exciting, war reporters..i mean that's sounds like wow! And it was nice at the beginning, but as the story goes i found it a bit boring. They were just talking and talking and talking *_*. Fox was to easy to catch, and to hunt a famous war criminal, the obstacles they faced were just too little. I know i'm just a regular watcher and i don't know exactly which part they said the movie is smart and exciting (hmmm????). But anyway, apart from the weird story, this movie is quite nice and the actors play were nice.
All i can say is this is just different than what i've expected ^_^. For others may be not that bad, but for me, i'll skip.

Fun facts:
  • The UN mission ended in 20 December 1995 when NATO took over (IFOR/SFOR). In 2000 there should have been SFOR flags instead of the UN flags, SFOR patches, not UN and no blue berets. Military vehicles should have their national camouflage painting and SFOR markings.
