Great acting, great cast, top notch cinematography & special effects all completely wasted on a truly pathetic story. War scenes very short and not engaging. Hard to relate to overly complex muddled characters.Film deals with complex issues like child exploitation for war and genocide very ambiguously and gratuitously. Audience is left with no great sense of any glory achieved in the story, nor are they left with any profound thought provoking messages from the story's core premises. The film ends with a pathetic attempt of main character to relate to & empathize with the enemy he was manipulated into anhilating.

I have watched this entire movie around 10 times. Not tired of it yet. The characters are paradoxical in that they are ordinary yet enchantingly extraordinary at the same time. The story is not filled with crazy imaginative plot twists, yet it keeps my interest by somehow making me connect with the characters to where I care about them. Definitely will remain among the few at the top of my list of favorite movies!
