Incredible Film from a Soldier's Perspective

A dark and unforgiving portrait of the psyche of soldiers at war, without showing much actual combat. The cast itself is fantastic and Sam Mendes knows how to handle difficult subjects with an eye for both dark comedy (to take the edge off) and some genuinely thought-provoking moments. A film that doesn't have to get political to raise questions about the politics of war.
