    Fake
    I caught this movie on TV and at fist sight thought it was good. 1/4 into the documentary and something was bothering me. It was painfully obvious the "old" footage was not old but new footage made to look "old". After searching for more info about the movie online I found out what I fear. Movie is a fake dockumentary which is not labeled mockumentary but instead it is trying to pass as a real documentary. Only for that reason I gave this movie 2 stars. Even the director himself is not answering the question if movie is fake or not. Interestingly no one ever heard of Denis Panichek nor did anyone under that name died in Afghanistan. At this point I'm even failing to see what is the point of this fake documentary?
