Mini-Review: Some critics compared this movie to Ingmar Bergman's movies. And I have to admit this comparison is justified. The calm storytelling style and the unexcited camera work could for sure be described as bergmanesk. Moreover, Haneke deals with a whole bunch of topics that could also be found in a lot of Bergman movies. Since this isn't the worst reference, this movie comes along pretty impressive. 07-03-2010

Mini-Review: There might be no real plot...probably just as in war. There might be a lack of personal relationship...probably just as in war. The movie might not have a message but what message does it need except for showing the brutality of war. It does that pretty good and builds quite some tension. And btw. Jeremy Renner's performance was very convincing. 01/03/10
