I must admit I had been skeptical at first, because watching something that is bound to be sad and heart-wrenching is not my forte. However, I was captivated throughout whole two hours that this movie lasted. It had everything that pulls you right into this type of cinematic experience; starting from a bunch of young boys, not men, but boys, who are pushed into a cruel war that is suddenly on their shoulders, without anyone to help them. From slaughterhouse to a silent pat on the shoulder when one is to man-up and get back on his feet. Main roles have done their jobs well enough, and portrayed their roles to the beat. Alas, give it a chance, I'm sure you'll find it very enjoyable.
