The Columbian photography is the most remarkable aspect of this film about a group of youth soldiers in a putative guerrilla force. The carefree teenagers with assault rifles start to come apart when their cow dies, and they cover up their misdemeanour.
While this is a small film, it does have a bit of trouble achieving escape velocity because of how close it is to Lord of the Flies and to some extent Apocalypse Now. It is effectively a two part film because the two different bases define the shoot. That said, it has some remarkably strong performances, including the quiet centre of the story who is gender fluid despite her name "Rambo". Her reticence and inability to fit in with the hormone driven "Monkeys" or with what she finds in her journey beyond is a well worked simile of how a neutral outlook has no place when a country is at war with itself.
