This is for me yet another brilliant Russian film with Hollywood blockbuster quality. The shot sequence for the first landmine explosion a few minutes into the movie showed me all I needed to know how brilliantly made the rest of the movie will be. If you have enjoyed other Russian movie industry cuts such as The Balkan Line, Sputnik and Russkiy Reyd then this one will definitely be worth watching for you. For any enthusiast of military movies with a touch of the Eastern influence I highly recommend this! Once In The Desert is every bit a 10/10 production if you watch it sincerely without any pre-programmed bias.
