Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

RyothChatty ridiculous rating

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

rococod-208-935697 Very real and well acted drama. I have never fully understood Bosnian war and UN peacekeepers role until I watched this movie. It really shows how hopeless and inhumane were those times. It is movie to remember for me. I give it a 10 out of 10 since acting is excellent and scenes are real and it has very strong message as an anti war movie. I am very glad I watched this excellent movie. I would recommend this to anyone that wants to learn more about what war is like, what "ethnic cleansing" is like or what went on just 15 years ago in very central part of Europe. Shocking what humans can do to each other, hope that Bosnian country never experience any war again.

adwilliams134 Warriors is a drama, but every incident you see in it is factual. The makers interviewed Infantry soldiers from UNPROFOR1 (The Cheshire Regiment) and UNPROFOR2 (The Prince Of Wales Own Yorkshire Regiment).The MoD gave the makers permission to approach soldiers who had been involved in incidents so that they could replicate them for the screen, along with what the soldier's were actually thinking and feeling at the time.A lot of incidents were rejected on the grounds that they would not be believed by the viewing public or were just to 'bloody'.In addition, soldiers helped the actors wear their equipment properly, act properly etc.How do I know this? Two of the incidents depicted I was involved in. I was in the Cheshire Regiment. I have since testified in 2 war crimes trials at the Hague.No matter what you think, believe me it was far worse than what you see. You only see it, you don't smell it.To this day (2007) most of us that were their in that first year still have a feeling that somehow we failed those poor people and our politicians were weak.It is very, very well made and very, very realistic as to what it was like.

Andrew Eckford I saw this when it was first screened in Australia (over a couple of nights) and remember how starkly it contrasted with heroics in most views of warfare. Here are a group of British soldiers put in the impossible situation of 'peacekeeping' without being able to engage an enemy.The bulk of the story follows the day-to-day life of a mechanised UN patrol as they patrol former Yugoslavia, a little over a decade ago, and looks at both the 'soldiering' and the little vignettes of interaction, from a chat over a cigarette to daily staff briefings. Combined with a somewhat documentary-style direction, the overall feel is more like a news crew travelled with the unit and cut together a bit of everything that happened.I love the Brits acting in this; there is a gritty realism and subtlety from the lead soldiers as they become increasingly frustrated that they can only watch terrible acts of ethnic cleansing and human cruelty, without being allowed to intervene.One of the most interesting parts of this piece is that it doesn't cut at the moment of relief, when the soldiers leave to fly into the sunset and return home. A significant amount of time looks at how they handle day-to-day life upon returning. No fanfare, no pride in a job well done, but a constant feeling of detachment from daily life and being unable to return to the 'normal' - how do you worry about which type of coffee to buy when you saw children being burned out of their homes?There are some brilliantly chilling scenes from the Lieutenants at the end as guilt and anger surface months down the track. I must have watched this 5 years ago, and can still picture the last moments with Ioan Gruffudd - there is so much said without a word of dialogue. Definitely worth watching - this highlights some of the emotions that don't get felt in the big war blockbusters, where the heroes can feel good about serving a cause.I only wish I had watched it with someone else at the time - there were so many personal ethics questions I had prickling as the credits rolled up.

msweet714 Warriors is one of the few movies that deal with the horrors of the 1990s war in what was once Yugoslavia. The film helped me sort out the politics and ethnic nuances that led to the conflict and gave us a glimpse into the lives of everyday people caught up in the storm of events. I was impressed by the realistic depiction of life in the British military and the personal challenges faced by the troops. The performances are compelling -- particularly that of Ioan Gruffudd, who really shines in one of his best roles -- and the story line is shattering. I highly recommend this film, and hope that it is picked up and shown on PBS in America. It can occasionally be seen on BBC America, although the commercial interruptions are unwelcome.
