⭐ Featured Review

A very thrilling short
by Rodrigo_Amaro2024-08-27
9/10

"This almost forgotten short film directed by Jonathan Darby owes its audience due to an early presence of Brad Pitt as one of its stars and because it was Oscar nominated in the Short Film category. It has one of those classic premises that hard to go wrong, and Mr. Darby succeeds in almost everything he set out to do with the conflict between two soldiers during the Iraq War who had to join forces in order to survive potential attacks from each other or their unit commands (American and Iraqi) that might appear in the area. It's almost the Oscar winning film "No Man's Land&quot..."
