With relatively low budget, compared to bigger Hollywood productions, it's amazing to see what Roel Reiné pulled off as the movie director.
The storyline is interesting: going from the warzone, to back home with his family, into the court where he was tried (these three locations are the corner stones of this story).
It's a new take for a Dutch movie to have a strong focus on the PTSS diagnosis where main character Marco Kroon has to deal with after returning home from Afghanistan, and how it affects all around him.
The movie gave insight into the live of a veteran and caught my attention for two full hours.
Maybe the the real Marco Kroon may have done things in live that should not have happened but the context of the movie helps to understand more of it. As this was a movie (not a real documentary), it remains unclear as to what really happened and what is pure fiction. For me this was unimportant, I've tried to see the bigger picture here for veterans in general. And I believe the movie enables you to do so.
