a good war movie should ultimately project an anti war message . no movie in a long time have project such a strong sense of this a savior . it will be a long time before i be able to forget the nightmarish imagery feature in this film . it show the ugly war in bosnia and the insanity at work there . some people have claim this be a racist film . i do not see it that way . this film show everyone in a bad light . there be no hero here . it show how hate and prejudice can pose a patriotism . this be one of dennis quaid best performance . his face be remarkably powerful in depict repress and escalate anger while he do it very well while it almost the dark opposite of his famous easy grin . this film be disturb but and ultimately and it contain a message of hope . in that sense it make good companion piece to welcome to sarajevo .
