Goofs

When the vehicles go to Dokovo to find Nikolai's house, one overhead shot shows the vehicles driving along with flags flying on the driver's side of each. Every other shot (overhead and ground level) shows the flags on the passenger side, indicating that this overhead shot has been reversed.

Aid workers in the Balkans

A Perfect Day tells the story of a group of aid workers during the Balkan War. The daily problems they encounter to do their job as good as possible. Don't expect much action or so because the story is just them trying to find a piece of rope so they can extract a dead body out of a well. Seems easy but in a hostile environment where all the concerned parties are not willing to help it becomes a challenge. Even though there is not much action the story is enjoyable to watch. Add on that first class actors and you get a good movie that is worth a watch. Benicio Del Toro and Tim Robbins are always a delight to watch and in A Perfect Day they do what we are used of them. The script is good, the actors are good, the filming is good, and there is even a bit of humor. Entertaining movie.
