"The Beast of War"

So, nobody has seen this excellent movie?!

Hmm..

Yeah, it's kinda confusing, given the current state of affairs, but still - very good.

Reminds me how much politics there actually is in filmmaking.

BTW, the taliban and the mujahedeen are not the same thing... they're actually quite the opposite.
 
I think in the US it was just called "The Beast." Saw it on HBO many moons ago, don't remember it all that well, but I recall it being pretty decent. :)
 
Good flick...Kevin Reynolds once had promise. Fandango is another little seen classic of his. Then he made Robin Hood, Rapa Nui and then Waterworld, which effectively ruined his career.
 
Wasn't that movie shot in Israel with an actual captured T-72 tank? I seem to recall loving that it wasn't just a repainted piece of American military hardware like so many other movies of the era seemed to use (Top Gun, I'm looking in your direction).

Exactly.

AFAIK, it was a captured Egyptian T-55 tank, redesigned to fit the movie.
