Goofs:
Factual errors: Nino is hit with a rifle round from less than 10 meters distance in the lower abdomen. There is no exit wound on his back, and he seems - apart from pain - unhurt, can walk etc. While a round from an assault rifle in the lower abdomen may not kill instantly, it exits on the back, leaving great damage to the internal organs and probably the spine too, so that walking would not have been possible.

If this film is anything it is a true bite of reality. It does not preach or provide a drawn out moralizing conclusion. It does not take sides or provide possible solutions to a well-publicized conflict. What it does is that it provides a point of view of a director who has indeed seen it all and has been able to tell a story full of dark humor, satirical and comical, but most of all tragic. It is rare for a director to succeed commercially and/or critically coming from ethnical background that he is without compromising the story that is not easy to tell. Furthermore, this is not a Hollywood commercial product; having an excuse to use the conflict as the background in order to show some exquisite fireworks of shooting, escapades and a whole row of already recognizable clichés. What makes this film worth more that one watch is that it takes human life at its most vulnerable, that it is about communication or lack of thereof, the excellent use of international cast and different languages adding to the confusion of an understanding the conflict that was truly not understood by anyone.
