VIBE
This film feels like a darkly comedic, often absurd journey into the heart of modern military operations. It's a cynical, critical look at the machinery of war and the larger-than-life figures within it, blending dramatic gravitas with sharp, observational satire. Expect a thought-provoking, almost uncomfortable laughter.
