Peek a boo

No pun intended obviously. If you are here for Aaron Eckhart, well let me tell you he is more in an advisor role, so you won't be seeing too much of him. That said, the other actors are more than fine enough. But the movie scores with something else entirely: a lot of blood and a lot of violence. When it gets down, it also gets dirty ... a lot.

I guess there are also passages (pun anyone?), that may feel claustrophobic to some. The story is quite simple, the conclusion may be a bit ... well it may not be a satisfying one. But is life always satisfying? I'd argue it is not - and while I suppose the movie is not really based on one particular story, it probably took a lot of little stories and made it into this bigger one ... well if you can call it that. This shows the downside of war - especially the senselessness of it all ...
