  • 4DFR rating: 25+ (25 and up for rape and violence)

Angelina Jolie did a wonderful job of showing the horrors and realism of war, although in the kingdom of God to come, many of the scenes could have been done by "the art of suggestion." Instead, she shows rape several times. Violence, unfortunately, is the horrible truth of war, where men lose their moral standards and do things based upon hatred and fear. She captured this kind of horrible violence excellently. The acting by all was very good. The movie is sobering, and I warn you, it may be too real for some viewers. If you're trying to stay celibate, I wouldn't see this film either then; Zana Marjanovic, Goran Kostic, Rade Serbedzija, Director/Writer Angelina Jolie.
