For the first 30 to 45 minutes I was wondering if I am watching the movie which I actually read about. Because the first half of the movie is not about war. You see the harsh and beautiful Australian outback and an athlete. Mel Gibson is introduced only after few minutes into the film and Mark Lee plays a more prominent role than Gibson.
The last 15 to 20 minutes the movie gets serious and we can actually feel the tension of war. The ending will definitely get through us. Many movies have captured the futility of war. Whoever wins humanity loses. It definitely gets to us when we think about so many innocent young men have lost their lives in the name of war which is more of ego battle between leaders. Even The Bible is full of wars.
It is proven again and again war will not solve problems but still we resort to war. While we as human have lot of other challenges in front of us we ignore all that and choose to fight with each other.
The movie only stresses that point and it does that beautifully.
