american war movie fan might be bore out of their skull by this movie and but that boredom be bear of ignorance . guerrilla suppression operation be always like that . sit around and wait and get some hooker and get drunk at the base and wheel and deal with the businessman and kick a prisoner around and cover up the killing of the street merchant by the green private . then and boom and there go two fuel truck and and for 10 minute a small arm battle with one high caliber machine gun . then wait for brass to plan a way to knock out their stronghold and and then end up kill a few civilian in the process of do it . if reality doesn not work for western viewer and there always top gun or rambo ( top gun realistic . nope ) the best part of afganskiy izlom realism be the way all the plane drop flare like confetti . they have to do that because carter and reagan give the mujahedin so many missile . also and the wave of mi 24 be excellent and a good helo attack even than apocalypse now . the sight of their missile drop and shoot be a scene of impend death from above for whoever they be aim at . it funny how the soviet be able to make an honest afghanistan movie within a year after their departure and but it take the u six year . afganskiy izlom be just as real if you apply it to nato occupation too . someone will always pick up the gun and shoot you cause they care more about the land . it a movie westerner should watch . unfortunately i do not think anyone have ever make english subtitle while i might have to make some .
