ive seen this movie a few times and thought it was pretty good, and the reason for posting this is for others to see the movie and get some Vague idea what the people and fighting terrain in afghanistan is gonna be like.
and it should be a good movie to sit in front of th tv with an UN-loaded gun, aim and yell BANG at the afghanis.
(heres the movie details)
During the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, Koverchenko (Jason Patric), a young Russian soldier, is caught between his country and his conscience when his ruthless commander (George Dzundza) destroys a village. As the their tank lies trapped near the village, Koverchenko is labeled a traitor and left to die. After run-ins with wild dogs and rock-throwing Afgan women, he is rescued by an Afghan leader (Steven Bauer, TRAFFIC). The two unlikely allies then set out to destroy the Russian commander and his tank. Based on William Mastrosimone's stage play, THE BEAST is a haunting and unusual war film that has developed a fervent cult of admirers despite very limited theatrical play.
