You can respect that it was made for a fraction of the cost of the average, similarly politically superficial American action-thriller, but that doesn't make the failure any more noble. Go to Full Review

Ultimately, despite all its toughness, the film's flaws make it a little too vulnerable to stand up on its own. Go to Full Review

Conceptually, Born of War sounds like a winner, but in reality more resembles the ravaged ruins of its war-torn setting. Go to Full Review

George R Feb 18, 2018 What an awful, awful film. The cinematography is the only redeeming feature. The direction and script were awful the acting wooden. There were more plot holes than plot. It was a low cost movie which failed to live up to the meagre budget. See more
Aug 18, 2017 I personally don't understand why this movie scored so low when I actually enjoyed it. It's definitely not a favourite of mine, and Mina was a character that I struggled to relate to. However as always James Frain just gave a spot on perfect performance which really is the main reason I enjoyed the film so much! See more
