While I like the idea of watching a movie made about a war while that war is still going on, it still comes down to a lot of combat scenes and discussion of strategies, which never interest me. I zoned out with 30-40 minutes left to go and had real serious difficulty refocusing on the film. Genre bias is a thing.
