Movie Reviews
Fascinating and Troubling
Brutal scenes interrupted by monologues
This is the only movie I saw about the Finnish Civil War and I must say it was way too short: it did not leave enough time for the viewer to remember and discover the personality of the main characters. It has plenty of action and has believable costumes and weapons. What annoyed me in this feature was the frequent monologues of some characters talking to the camera like if they were reading a letter while the rest of the guys where fighting: it was turning me off each time.
