Whether this Berber is real or just a figment of his imagination, is hard to say. And afterwards he disappears again over the next dune. And an odd, funny looking Berber shows up occasionally to bring water and have philosophical conversations with Mike. Only the delusions and flashbacks as Mike gets more and more tired, are presented in multitudes. So, don't expect real action-packed scenes in this movie. And now Mike is standing, kneeling and balancing there in the middle of the desert on an unexploded landmine, exposed to the elements of nature and from time to time deep in thought. And, in my opinion, the thought of a leg-less existence was too much for him as well. He won't be able to break the record on the 100 meter sprint, as both his legs are spread over a few square meters after walking on a landmine himself. Help that comes too late for his partner Tommy (Tom Cullen). For 90 minutes, there's nothing else to see than this soldier who has to wait 52 hours for a patrol to help him. Making a film that focuses solely on an American marine named Mike (Armie Hammer) who stepped on a landmine and who doesn't dare to take any further steps. You're a very lucky man, Mike and Michael!" Guess it wasn't that simple to do this. You spend the night in the desert and the animals leave you alone. You step on a mine and it doesn't explode.
