Mostar has long been known for its old Turkish houses and the Old Bridge—Stari Most—from which the town takes its name. The scene along the Neretva River is idyllic today, but this mixed Christian-Muslim town was synonymous with conflict during the Bosnian War of the early 1990s, including in 1995, when the historic bridge was destroyed. It was rebuilt in 2004 and today is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Geoffrey Adam Parker © 2017 |

Synopsis:
A hidden gem: This movie is great. It's smart, well written and brightly directed. Thumbs up for all the cast. They really did an amazing job. The action sequences are undeniably good. Sure, it's not a Hollywood blockbuster, but it shines really bright with its limited budget. It was shot in Mozambique and it's a local production with premium quality. You can't go wrong watching it.
