TOO SAFE



Modern Danish movie is fascinated by the war in Afghanistan and overseas military missions of local soldiers, so „A War” chooses to follow the well lit path of „Brothers” and „In a better world”.

Unfortunately, unlike Susanne Bier's dramas, „A War” significantly fails to deliver the authencity and suspense expected from this productive and creative small European cinematography. It also doesn't  deliver the much needed sense of reality into characters, leading the story about collateral damage in Afghanistan too „safely” to the very end.

„A War” could've been a great post war drama, but it just isn't, especially coming from the leading spear of modern day cinematic drama, Denmark.
