A man bearing the unseen scars of war struggles to recover amidst a family in chaos in this drama from writer and director Danis Tanovic. Mark Walsh (Colin Farrell) is a photojournalist who has earned a reputation for working in some of the most unforgiving locations on Earth, so when his editor Amy (Juliet Stevenson) asks him to cover the fighting in Kurdistan, Mark takes the assignment and thinks little of it, though his wife Elena (Paz Vega) is considerably more concerned. Mark and his friend and fellow photographer David (Jamie Sives) head off to the war full of confidence, but when Mark comes home alone after being separated from David, he seems like a different person, gaunt and unable to relax. Elena can't get Mark to talk about what he saw that left him so traumatized, so she invites her father Joaquin (Christopher Lee), a veteran psychoanalyst with military experience, for a visit to see if he can help. But as Joaquin struggles to get Mark to open up, the father's presence ignites an old conflict between him and Elena; the doctor was a supporter of Franco during the Spanish Civil War and served under the dictator's regime, and Elena has never been able to forgive him for his actions against the Spanish loyalists.

We see this story again and again. An unknown talented creator shoots a successful festival film with unknown actors and minimal resources and capital, which gains the favor of the audience and film critics and successfully makes its way around the world. The next film is already being shot with the support of a strong producer, starring international movie stars, and ambitions are felt in every step of the crew and every shot. However, despite efforts and investments, the result is often more than disappointing. Danis Tanović succeeded not only with me but basically with everyone, with his film No Man's Land, which was a great intimate anti-war drama. Back then, the director only needed three soldiers confined between the front line and bound by mutual hatred to evoke maximum emotions. Here, he clearly tries the same, but somehow it drags on and the result does not meet expectations. My sense of reason would like to appreciate the theme and effort with four stars, but the emotional part of myself says that three stars are just right. Yes, the twist is strong and the intense scenes from the field hospital in rebellious Kurdistan are impressive, but that's a bit too little for a hundred-minute film. Overall impression: 60%.

I can’t get rid of the feeling it could have been done better, but even though it is quite cleverly shot movie, it’s not really a war movie, but more of a post-war movie. Farrell’s acting is great and Christopher Lee keeps him on his toes when they have a scene together.
