The Enemy

After reading the positive reviews from both Croatian and Serbian side I had to see this movie. This is not a horror film for the lovers of lots of blood and chopped of heads although there are plenty of corpses at the end. What I found captivating is the atmosphere of malice and distrust that slowly builds up. Also the post-war world of destroyed buildings and believes is well captured. The actors play soldiers as if they fought in a war yesterday (did they?). The change of a group of guys who trust each other and laugh with each other into distrust is beautifully done. This slowly growing mistrust is the real enemy from the title, and this is obviously done by people who know what is about. I highly recommend this film. It is a real shame it did not get wider distribution.
