Kirgen is really good, I kind of liked the way the film is presented with this documentary approach sometimes, it's not always about war but about its consequences and Pilou Asbæk is fabulous, he was great in A Hijacking and he still is. Afghanistan (Turkey) scenes were incredibly immersives, knowing about the fact that some of the actors are real soldiers makes the movie most authentic. As well, I don't get why the movie is so low-rated, cinema isn't always american blockbusters, Tobias Lindholm is a really good danish director.
