Walken is great, and tries his damnedest to make it work, but it's too low budget and is far too self-serious with it's politics to make for a fun schlocky action flick, which is all something like this should be. It's ultimately boring and forgettable.

An ugly look at the life of war and a country torn apart and ruled by an evil army and regime. Lots of character study, not just an endless gunfight. About 30 minutes too long and drags a bit.

Raw, uncompromising. I don't think there is one happy moment in the entire movie. Grimm. An amazing, underrated piece of cinematic history. Christopher Walken is an amazing actor.
