**½
Director: Peter Antonijevic
Cast: Dennis Quaid, Nastassja Kinski, Stellan Skarsgard, Natasa Ninkovic

A man whose family is killed in a terrorist attack winds up an emotionless killer fighting for the Serbs in the Bosnian War. Now he suddenly finds himself protecting a Serbian outcast and her baby. This is a brutal film which manages to illustrate the absurdity of war, but it's somewhat marred by a protagonist who has no redeeming qualities.
