Really don't understand what happened here.
I usually love this kind of movies, touching international conflicts.
I love Bob Hoskins, I think he is a superb actor (especially in Egoyan's "Felicia's Journey").
But to me it looked like a bad, bad film. Very bad acting, very bad directing, simplistic story. My worst DVD acquisition in years, sorry.
So I certainly wouldn't recommend it.
If you wanna see something about this conflict, rather try Danis Tanović 's "No man's Land", or revert to Kusturica or even Winterbotom.

a man a boy and a war
Review date: 2006-11-21 Rating: 10 out of 10
There have been very few films covering the "war" in Bosnia, Croatia and Serbia. Perhaps it's as well as Mankind stooped to new lows here.
This wonderful film covers one moment in the fighting in Bosnia. The story of a man who goes searching for a boy in the war torn country with a view to spiriting him out of the country. For money.
The two man actors are very good indeed. The boy plays a most convincing role, one I would not expect capable of for a boy of his tender years.
It is a chilling story especially as the true point of it all comes out toward the end.
The direction and sets are of a high standard too. A great film indeed.
a good film

good acting good scenery good setting a roller coaster of emotional highs and lows - thats the superficial stuff out the way -
thank god it wasnt made by hollywood or it would have been so sweetly sick
the film is set in a war torn society dealing with the greed and corruption associated, money talks and life is cheap, how bad can turn to good, and the developing relationship of two very different characters at opposite ends of a spectrum
deffinately reccomended for a good evenings viewing - BUT im not going to tell you how it ends so you wont know if you will be horrified or elated after watching

This is a flawed, but very memorable movie worth 90 minutes of anybody's time.
It covers big topics - war, racial conflict, child abduction - but most important of all it is about hope and the salvation of one human being by another.
Special mention must be made of the child actor in the co-star role. He is one of the best I've ever seen. His Polish nationality means it is unlikely we'll get to see him in many more films so all the more reason to enjoy this one.

A truely great film. The scenery is beautiful but the topic of the film is all too real. The two main characters are suberb as are the whole crew.
