Storyline

The horrors of war are examined from the view points of lifelong friends (Linus Roache, Vincent Perez), who end up on opposing sides in the war in Sarajevo. One is an expert marksman, who trains the snipers used to terrify the city and the other becomes a freedom fighter, who rejects his friend's offer to gain an escape from the city. As might be expected, the two eventually have to face-off against one another.

Something you should watch

I have been in Sarajevo during the horrible civil war, and this movie shows how really it happened. I have been in all of the places they showed in the movie and, yes it is how happened. Acting is great. Actors did very good job, also music was good. This movie is one of those movies who present the real war (like Saving Private Ryan), not like many fake movies do. It is worthy of watching.
