Wondering what actual military personnel and veterans think about it


I saw it today and thought it was one of the best dramatic portraits of military service I'd seen in a long time, in that it seemed authentic, credible, and nonjudgmental, even though the story eventually involves public/legal judgment of specific acts of war. I have NOT served myself, so I'd be very interested what any current enlistees or veterans who've seen it think. Of course it's about Danish soldiers, but I imagine most of it would be relatable to people who've served for other countries (or the UN).

Do yourself a favor and see A Hijacking, a 2012 film from the same director. You'll find the same realism and nuanced portrayal of complicated events.
