Watch 5 Days of War For Free

Very disappointing...

Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Blistering performances.

People would think that kind of propaganda would be characteristic only for the past years of communism or Nazi Germany years ago. Too pity to see that modern day USA is down in standards to those old times. After all those events happened just recently in 2008 and whoever is interested in the truth can easily check it out in the news. Then it will be remembered that Georgia shelled the hell out of Tshinvali in the night of Aug 7 to 8, attacked the Russian peacekeepers and killed many civilians. Then Russia sent troops (as USA would do in similar and less serious situations). So, please check the news of Aug7 and 8 before you believe anything in that movie.

Movie starting with Russians attacked,But reality it was different and it changed whole history about this war,Expected more than killing scenes from this movie, something historical and cause of the war something, but whole movie is showing massacre and all time blaming Russian side without proof and reason ...Better read some documentary instead watching this movie, movie should be replaced - Israeli and Palestine if director wanted to show about terrorism Better suite the story of movie.Really don't understand how it has got 5points vote, may be all Georgians gave 10points for the movie but all knows it's totally different from history and that 5points is just a waste of time for the audience to suggesting this horrible movie...

Prior to the review, I ask readers to forgive my meager knowledge of English. I write to you from Russia. I was amused and annoyed by the concept, with which your writers (writers of film - I do not know how to write English is right) presented the Russian reality. Represent Russian murderers, thieves, maniacs, mentally handicapped is fundamentally not correct. It's the same thing as to present Germans as Nazis, Americans as fat, the French as a frog-eaters, the Italians as mobsters. We call it cranberry - a not real picture of Russia. I hope it is clear why I decided to name as your resume - Hello, Mr. Popcorn? Such a film can be viewed only by eating popcorn! Your government is out of ordinary Americans make zombies - and the film is likely to custom, to incite ethnic hatred between the Americans and Russian. You can easily see that I'm right - вы to visit Russia. You will not find the thugs, murderers, thieves, rapists, the snow (at least 7-9 months of the year there is no snow in Moscow!), Bears, accordion and balalaika, bears, hats ushanok, soldiers' uniforms to the ground, the red stars on the head and red flag. In 2008, Russia stood up for Ossetia, which does not want to be part of Georgia, along the lines of Quebec in Canada. The only difference is that Canada did not send troops to Quebec, to suppress the natural rights of nations to self- determination and sovereignty. Because Canada is a civilized country, in Georgia ruled by a dictator. This is pure politics, the United States maintains some dictators, Russia others. In this win-wrong and the U.S. and Russia, but we do not make movies about Gaddafi, do not make heroes of the tyrants. Wealthy Americans to visit in Ossetia is very easy, for 2-3 days. Ask themselves Ossetians - who is to blame for the war. Do not believe the lies. And think logically - Russian in the film is being shot from helicopters captured the village, but it is not logical! This is just one of hundreds of examples to prove the falsity of this film. PS: I ask, who knows English to correct written. I hope that one day the truth will prevail!

We will start with the fact this film was released in 2011 and running 113 minutes,about about a War in 2008.That makes it a first film for that war. Second its about a war few even know happened as it lasted but 5 days and was up against the Olympics in China for media attention.Yes thats true,look it up. Third its from a smaller film company that spent its budget on location shooting it seems. Forth,the war involves my ancestral home country of Russia. Five,it also involved another country with boots on the ground AT OUR SIDE in Iraq,GEORGIA. Six ,some real interesting casting. Seven,the story is based on facts. Eight,its also a story of those forgotten press who live and die to get a story out,literally. Nine,its combat scenes are as intensely realistic as any I've seen. Ten,the other 9 reasons make it the kinda gem of a film we live for. Now to the war itself,this film contributes little to the understanding of why the war happened at all,but,isn't that true in many cases? Really people,BE HONEST !!!!! The casting,well,I turned in to see Heather Graham and Andy Garcia and Val Kilmer with other unknowns to see how it would mix and i wasn't to optimistic.Damned if Heather isn't killed in the opening scene and Val is little seen till he's killed late in the film,BUT Andy is good as the Georgian President but not really needed as I said earlier,it's really about the press,not politics. Now the press, thats Rupert Friend playing Thomas Anders, the reporter the story is built around, and he really does grow on you as the film moves along.AH,but Johnathon Schaech as Cpt. Rezo Avaliani ,a Georgian who saved Thomas in Iraq and then in Georgia has some acting career ahead !!!! As to the war itself,don't look to this movie as truth,as it said itself at the very beginning,the first casualty of war IS the truth.No,this story is as stated before,a tribute to the people who cover it.If your looking for a war gem of a film,SEE IT.
