War

***1/2

Reviewed by: Angus Wolfe Murray

Soldiers creep through a wood, hardly visible in their camouflage. This is filmed like a thriller. The enemy, at first unseen, attacks. Fatalities are high. Bodies start falling everywhere.

"Don't shoot," a voice cries. "We're dead."

They are not soldiers. They are not dead. They are not fighting a war. They are not grown-ups. They are kids. And this is a game.

The directors keep their surprises dry. It is clever and beautifully filmed.
