The movie is a traditional Balkan war parody. Which is supported by many of former Yugoslavia's best actors. Legends such as Bata Ziviojinovic, Ljubisa Samardzic, Biljana Ristic and Radko Polic, make this movie a need to watch. Although the storyline isn't done to a 100%, there are many dialogues that amuse even those who have been in the war the movie is about. Some may say that the writers and director may have overdone a bit with some humor scenes, all in all it is still one of the best movies of the ending Yugoslav era. The idea that people are selected to battle for a country even if they aren't it's citizens is quite a sad thing, while here it's made to be a big joke. And not even knowing against who you fight are just some elements that make it a laughing movie. My personal top 20 so I give it a 9 (maybe over graded).
