VIBE
This film feels like a relentless descent into the psychological and physical crucible of war. It's a grim, often darkly satirical, exploration of how conflict strips away humanity, leaving a stark, unforgettable impression. The atmosphere is oppressive, the dialogue sharp, and the experience visceral, prompting deep reflection on the cost of combat.
