User Reviews

A director taking the credit away from the heroes!

This is a strong movie! All credit should go to the people of Aleppo fighting for their life and freedom! Unfortunately the director claims to be important in this story and hopefully he will have his name deleted from it! This is not his movie nor his shots! He is currently under investigation in DK as he apparently have been very very disgusting towards certain members of his crew and other people (read: #metoo).

All 10 stars goes to the people of Aleppo and Syria who are suffering!
