KnotMissPriceless Why so much hype?

Sharkflei Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.

Joanna Mccarty Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Sayasam Well, this film is not bad. Really not bad. But that's not what I expected to this kind of film.Consider this film as a journey book of a danish advanced military base.It does not contain much action, emotion or anything but it shows things as they are.Action movie lovers will be disappointed, but army fans will like the honesty behind it.This film can give emotions if you engaged to army or if someone of your family did. But that's kinda all.

Irini This documentary about war in Afghanistan is simply a "masterpiece" by Janus Metz Pedersen. It covers a 6-month period of the lives of Danish soldiers in Afghanistan, showing us the daily life of a soldier in this war. It also shows the side of the local civilian people of Afghanistan, the way their lives are spoiled by this war and mostly by the way that the foreign powers are acting there. Local people are desperate by a war that not only offers nothing to them but also kills their families and makes them suffer even more.Unique photography. Great camera handling. Non-biased and truthful. 90 minutes full of reality and sentiment at the same time.DON'T MISS IT.

Goettschwan This is hands down the best war documentary I have ever seen. Most of it is beautifully filmed and put together, and it is showing how things are. I am a civilian, with a big interest in these things, and had my attention drawn to this movie because it seemed to get a thumbs up from people in the military. It sure shows controversial things, but balances them all the way, and show us both the civilian side with their troubles, and the danish soldiers side. Even at its controversial high point after a shootout it stays very neutral, and as such is a masterpiece of showing people the daily life of a soldier. My only gripe is that I had wished it a little longer, with more scenes that show the boredom that such a place must surely be, when nothing is happening.

Frank Skov As a former soldier, I was biased before seeing this movie. It is seldom that a documentary captures the reality soldiers goes through. Armadillo captured it, not perfectly because it is only a movie, but a close as any documentaries I have seen. It follows the Danish Soldiers stationed in Forward Operating Base (FOB) "Armadillo" (now named Budwan), which lies in the Helmand Province of Afghanistan. A province known for its Taliban presence and its high yield of opium. We follow the young soldiers as they go through their 6 months period, through their high and lows. It is a movie for both proponent and opponents of the presents of international troops in Afghanistan.
