Full Plot Details

In February of 2009, a group of Danish soldiers accompanied by documentarian Janus Metz arrived at Armadillo, an army base in the southern Afghan province of Helmand. Metz and cinematographer Lars Skree spent six months following the lives of young soldiers situated less than a kilometre from Taliban positions. The result of their work is a gripping and highly authentic war drama that was justly awarded the Grand Prix de la Semaine de la Critique at the 2010 Cannes film festival. But it also provoked furious debate in Denmark concerning the controversial behavior of certain Danish soldiers during a shoot-out with Taliban fighters. The film-makers repeatedly risked their lives shooting this tense, brilliantly edited, and visually sophisticated probe into the psychology of young men in the midst of a senseless war whose victims are primarily local villagers. Yet more disturbing than scenes in which Taliban bullets whiz past their cameras is the footage of the young soldiers as each tries, in his own way, to come to terms with putting his life constantly on the line.

Movie Reviews

Radio Times - 10/10 by Trevor JohnstonPresented with all the visual intensity of a Stanley Kubrick film, this is not just a vivid dispatch from Afghanistan, it's a classic snapshot of men at war.
About.com - 9/10 by Jennifer MerinFollowing Danish soldiers deployed to Afghanistan, the footage is dramatic, bloody, and often hard to watch. It takes you into the trenches. As a result, you might think twice about sending others to follow in their footsteps.
Compuserve - 9/10 by Harvey S. KartenIts most impressive aspect is that this is a documentary that looks more like a fiction film.
London Evening Standard - 9/10 by Derek MalcolmCould be the most honest film about military combat ever made. And one of the best, too, focusing as it does on the effects of battle on front-line soldiers in a futile war.
Paste Magazine - 9/10 by Sean GandertYou may be sick of war films about Afghanistan by now, but Armadillo's boldly objective take on the situation shouldn't be missed.
Movie Habit - 9/10 by Marty MapesWar doc sets itself apart with skilled storytelling
Monsters and Critics - 9/10 by Ron WilkinsonA must-see for those not afraid of seeing and hearing a true statement of the horrors of war.
sbs.com.au - 9/10 by Simon FosterAficionados of the first-person format will be salivating over the footage captured by Metz and his cinematographer Lars Skree.
Toronto Star - 9/10 by Linda BarnardLets the soldiers tell their stories by the way they live day-to-day during their tour of duty.
In These Times - 9/10 by Michael AtkinsonThe scenes of camaraderie and trial pile up, unmitigated by the sufferings of the Afghans being bombed and shot in the process.
