Watch Warriors For Free

Powerful

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

The Peacekeepers/Warriors is an excellent work of art and real life... Its brilliant in its cinematography and characterization & poignant and intense in its portrayal of a real life situation which showed humanity's brutal face in the advent of the Civil War in Bosnia... What makes this story so depressing yet so worthy of being watched is its authenticity in portraying events that happened only some years back right in front of our eyes. It leaves you frustrated and guilty at not being able to help those who were most in need of it. The movie is a historical document and in its silent way, invokes humanity, compassion and the dire need for kindness in everyone's heart... It reminded me of Conrad's "Heart of Darkness" and the haunting words "horror, horror!!!" at seeing the dark side of humanity. Yet the only saving grace was that the UN soldiers who were reduced to the role of nothing but zombies had hearts and souls and that became their tragedy. The Warriors/ Peacekeepers is an effort to jolt the conscience of the world and to rise them up from their silly, petty concerns and be bold enough to stay good in the midst of horror and darkness... Ioan Gruffudd is brilliant as always... And Mathew Macfaydan brings heart to this grim story of love and lost humanity. I wish more and more people get to watch this. Highly Recommended!

"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." (Edmund Burke) The accurate depiction of the problems faced by the UN forces in this terrible conflict. The good men in this film were hampered by the impossible UN mandate which allowed them to deliver humanitarian aid, but not to directly intervene to prevent the deaths of those they were sent to protect. Gritty realism and excellent acting performances make this one of the most accurate war films ever made. It's direct camera action and lack of comment makes it appear as if it were a documentary and allows the viewer to make up their own mind as to what they saw. Not that there is much latitude for interpretation in many of the scenes - which were all taken from real events. It's particularly good in it's depiction of how the soldiers coped with their experiences on returning to the UK - something I don't recall being done in any other war film.What is interesting is the profound effect this film has on anyone who sees it. In my case, as an ex British military officer, I was involved in several conflicts including the second major round of the breakup of Yugoslavia - the Kosovo war. That conflict was the only one where I actually felt we were doing something worthwhile. I found myself watching the playback videos of our bombs exploding in Serbia and thinking "Good - the b#######s deserved that!" But this film, which was first shown on BBC at about that time, made me re-examine my feelings. I found that I was disgusted with my attitude because I was essentially no better than those perpetrating the crimes. There is no black and white in any war and this film demonstrates that perfectly. During my officer training, we watched a couple of films to demonstrate various leadership qualities. I just hope this is shown to our latest trainees to demonstrate how difficult the job of a military leader can be.A couple of reviewers question the authenticity of the film in it's depiction and accuracy. It has been clearly stated by another reviewer that all the events in the film actually happened - and that some of the more extreme incidents were rejected. Also, it doesn't attempt to apportion blame on the Serbs - all sides are equally treated. Serbs are depicted at the first checkpoint, whereas the cars which are used by soldiers ransacking a elderly Muslim's house are flying Croation flags.There is only one score which this film justifies. Ten!

I, have to emphasis that, I was not in Bosnia during the wartime. But because we lived in the same state for a long time I can say that I have a good historical overview and a lot of informations from all sides involved in war in Bosnia. On that basis I think the movie is good representation of real event. It is also very good antiwar movie.I can imagine that Serbs wont like the movie, but they have to face the truth. Sooner they realize the truth better for them and for development of their nation. The fact that all sides did war crimes is not of big help here. The fact is that pictures, like in movie, were the most common, and you have to remember who started the blood spilling and genocide. But remember it is not about people but politics who manipulate with masses. The people are the same everywhere you go; bad and good and mostly inbetween. The role of international community and UNPROFOR in Bosnia was very questionable. They let the killing of innocents before their eyes and did nothing. Even more, the UN people turned into a corrupted band who struggled only for surviving, earning money and promotions. Even on highest levels. Just remember one French general.But like I said the people are good and bad. So I can imagine that some soldiers had a real problems with facing the unjustice and horror supported from international community. I saw yesterday on Monte Negro TV a prewar speech from president of Bosnia,Alija Izetbegovic who said: " Bad negotations are better then a good war." Congratulations to Monte Negro TV for independent standpoint with presentations of former enemies and to mr. Izetbegovic for a clever thought. Too bad they all did not take this idea seriously. One more. Yesterday at night I saw this movie on Pink TV. Yes, on Serbian TV! The things are changing. Congratulations!!!With all respect on victims on all sides.

This film, about a group of British soldiers helping out for the UN in Bosnia in the early 90s, is a disturbing, powerful and superb piece of film making. Despite its long length, this film depicts the frustration and personal pain British troops faced while in Bosnia, witnessing mass deaths of civilians and being unable to give proper assistance because of war 'restrictions'. The atmosphere is bleak and often tense, with the audience sympathising with the frustrated troops after 'clearing' up human body remains. The aftermath and the pain the soldiers continue to feel after they get back to Britian is unsympathetic and superbly acted, especially from 'Band Of Brothers' star Damian Lewis and Matthew MacFadyen, and the scene when a soldier befriends a Bosnian civilian wearing a Manchester United shirt and has to hand him over to officials to be shot is one of the most powerful humanitarian war scenes in any film I have ever witnessed, with the Liverpool born soldier sinking to breaking point and bursting into tears. It is easy to see why people may not like this. The pace is slow from time to time. Perhaps it is a touchy subject, but its a shame more people in America will not have the chance to see it. They should. It is compulsive viewing. Harrowing and brilliant, Warriors will stay with you.8.5 out of 10
