5 Days Of War (2011)

A drama set centered around the war between Russia and Georgia, and focused on an American journalist, his cameraman, and a Georgian native who become caught in the crossfire.

________________

5 Days of War is an action-packed international thriller from acclaimed director, Renny Harlin. Based on true events, this intense film is a vivid account of a renegade American journalist, his cameraman and a local woman caught behind enemy lines, and determined to not only survive, but tell the world what was happening, during the swift but devastating 5-day war between Russian and the Georgian Republic in 2008.

Best thing Renny has done for years. I don’t usually like war movies, but this was so intense and touching. It really show how horrible war can be. The visual effects of the movie were amazing and the movie was brilliantly scripted to follow the small group of people through much of eastern Georgia as it was being invaded. It is definitely a must see film and an enjoyable film.
