. spoiler . first thing first and i doubt very much there any truth in this true story producer of savior oliver stone also write the screenplay of midnight express and unlike the account of billy hayes book the film version be a work of complete fiction . let see joshua rise wife and child be murder by islamic terrorist so he shoot up a mosque . can any tell me when this incident happen . because i don ` t recall any news report about it . and why do peter join the legion . surely he act in self defence . it also seem strange that the croat defence council ( hvo ) decide to drive their serb and muslim victim right beside joshua hide place to be massacared . despite this criticism savior be a good film . i remember dislike it first time i saw it because i ` d write an unproduced screenplay set during the balkan conflict call solitude which play out totally different from savior even though my screenplay also involve western mercs and also have a subtext that there no good guy in the bosnian conflict . jealousy aside ( i have my heart on solitude win the best original screenplay oscar ) i do admire savior for be an intelligent and sad and haunting film . despite have oliver stone a producer and an american star this be a totally european film in both feel and execution i have a son . he dead . he have a son . he dead too . both die fighting for what . a croat tell joshua . what indeedi wouldn ` t say this be the best bosnian conflict movie ( that accolade go to pretty village pretty flame ) but it probably the most accesible to a western audience . war be obscene and when you compare this movie to behind enemy line you can ` t help thinking that hollywood be even more of an obscenity the way it portray the balkan conflictpeace out .
