BoardChiri Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Verity Robins Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

pejo ristovski People would think that kind of propaganda would be characteristic only for the past years of communism or Nazi Germany years ago. Too pity to see that modern day USA is down in standards to those old times. After all those events happened just recently in 2008 and whoever is interested in the truth can easily check it out in the news. Then it will be remembered that Georgia shelled the hell out of Tshinvali in the night of Aug 7 to 8, attacked the Russian peacekeepers and killed many civilians. Then Russia sent troops (as USA would do in similar and less serious situations). So, please check the news of Aug7 and 8 before you believe anything in that movie.

tulgabat Movie starting with Russians attacked,But reality it was different and it changed whole history about this war,Expected more than killing scenes from this movie, something historical and cause of the war something, but whole movie is showing massacre and all time blaming Russian side without proof and reason ...Better read some documentary instead watching this movie, movie should be replaced - Israeli and Palestine if director wanted to show about terrorism Better suite the story of movie.Really don't understand how it has got 5points vote, may be all Georgians gave 10points for the movie but all knows it's totally different from history and that 5points is just a waste of time for the audience to suggesting this horrible movie...

Cedric_Catsuits This film appears to have attracted a lot of negative publicity, mainly from pro-Russia and pro-US parties. I have no idea how accurate it is, but given what I know of how powerful countries operate I have no reason to doubt that much of this is based on fact. Wars that don't benefit western economies rarely attract support or even attention, and it is interesting that this one also coincided with the Beijing Olympics - pure coincidence? I think not. What better way to cover up atrocities than carry them out when the world is looking the other way.As a piece of film making it is faultless, however, and deserves a much higher average score. If you like films such as The Bang Bang Club and The Hunting Party then this should be right up your street. The plot and characters are good, well acted and directed, with plenty of action. If I have a gripe it's down to the lack of subtitles when people are speaking Russian or Georgian - why do film makers do this? If the characters have something to say and it's important to the story, then tell us what they're saying! So it's a good film and if it's in any way true then a lot of powerful people ought to be ashamed. At the very least it's a film that makes you want to find out more about the atrocities happening in the world today.

Pro Jury This contains spoilers.A centerpiece of 5 DAYS OF WAR is that authentic video footage of a clear and brutal war crime is powerful evidence able to make change -- in and of itself.In 5 DAYS OF WAR, the conflict involves some Georgians and the Russians with roots in old Soviet politics. Whatever blatant and harsh oppression is at the center of the complaint, it is distant to American film audiences. Other people living in far away lands may, or may not, have a tradition to respect the rules of war.This is all to say that 5 DAYS OF WAR is deeply flawed because it is not grounded in reality. In real life, American film audiences are more closely familiar with American traditions. George Washington commanding a very humanitarian "rules of war" code placing virtue with the Americans, in sharp contrast with the poor ethics of the British military. The good guys (we Americans) act good. We act good. We are good. It gave Americans deep pride to be American.The flaw in 5 DAYS OF WAR is most obvious today as we all know of the Bradley Manning "brutal bloodlust video" released to the media and general public showing U.S. military gleeful war crimes on civilian targets. Authentic video footage that changed... nothing. It changed nothing because in the real world of today, the side that tortures and murders with robot drones is good, and the side that uses bare hands to farm green beans and onions is bad. Today, in the real world, we all share the ideas our leaders tell us.Life is easier now the happily cowed media and we regular people because none us ever need to think for ourselves; we have a leader who will do all of the thinking for us. This is real life. 5 DAYS OF WAR has too much fantasy.
