Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Best movie ever!

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

A group of Polish troops led by Major Keller leave their base, against their superiors' commands, in order to help their colleagues from another unit. I liked the film - the action is swift and the characters' portraits are realistic. The events taking place are quite truthful: if someone gets shot he screams and bleeds, if his wound is fatal, he does not talk for another hour, but he dies almost instantly, as it usually happens in real life... Although it is not a masterpiece, it CAN still provide some entertainment : ) Apart from being an action movie, it also reveals the intricate peace-keepers'-specific dilemmas. All in all it is worth seeing.

I like this movie very much. From the very first watch I fell in love with this excellent and very serious work. The theme - civil war in the former Yugoslavia - is one of my favorite. There are so many bad American films where the Serbs are always mean bloody killers, where brave US soldiers save the poor civilians, that I am tired of them. This film is far better one. There are no "good" or "bad" Serbs here, instead, there is a gang of ferocious bandits who rape and kill everybody around. The squad of Polish UN Peacekeepers comes to the mountains to save the fallen helicopter crew. Here, we see the Polish film stars Boguslaw Linda, Zbiegniew Zamachowski, among others. The squad faces many terrible battles, several soldiers are killed in action, and the scene of devastating Gypsy village is horrible realistic. Gloomy, dark music adds to it very much. I must admit that the main idea is very good - there is no winner in any civil war. This blood-chilling portrait of brotherly killing is so astonishingly true to life that you simply feel no other thing but a deep dull pain at heart. I do recommend this excellent film to those who are interested in the Balkan War history.

A great movie if you're prepared to look a bit deeper. It shows a group of soldiers who never participated in real combat are sent to Bosnia as peacekeepers. Arguably, they are civilians in uniforms. Faced with a real enemy, they are forced to handle their fears and endure the shock of shooting at people and being hurt themselves. The finale makes you think whether fighting against the 'bad guys' makes any sense anyway - what difference does it make? The 'good guys' get hurt in the process too.

The ONLY good thing about this movie is Miroslaw Baka (Cichy). It's a wonder that Boguslaw Linda (Keller) gets such a high percentage of leading roles in Polish movies every year. It's also sad how Polish movies are desperately trying to imitate American films, now that model American films for certain genres have become more available to Polish viewers in the 1990s. This awful picture is a combination of a rogue, not-by-the-book military officer out to set the world right and nonsensical international espionage. And they managed to drag poor Goya into the title! P.S. See Miroslaw Baka in Krzysztof Kieslowski's *Krotki film o zabijaniu* (*A Short Film about Killing*).
