REVIEWS BY CRITICS

“..a completely awful, straight-to-video action thriller..”
by Jaime N. Christley [Slant Magazine]
“..undeniably often impressive, with its hundreds of extras and carefully staged battle tableaux, but "staged" is the operative word, as these scenes often look too pictorially arranged to have much real-life immediacy..”
by David Noh [Film Journal International]
“..unsurprisingly given its origins, no "fog of war" exists here, just brave Georgian soldiers and helpless citizens facing Russians whose rogue, tattooed gunmen happily shoot grandmothers without provocation..”
by John DeFore [Washington Post]
