Like the kind of movie I would make, but still pretty good anyway.
It's an earnest indie effort about a clandestine Belarusian in the French foreign legion and sibling Nigerian revolutionaries whose lives intertwine.
There are some unnecessary gimmicks and some heavy symbolism (I'd be all over those if I were a filmmaker) but the film's sincerity tip the scales in its favor.
