I can't believe what this movie could have been if they hadn't made the stupid mistakes as using naval tactics as sole battle tactics... While generaly the best starting point for a desert environment one critical adjustment has to be made; water doesn't whirl up and create hard to see through dust clouds.

In the first scene he could have easily gotten away by creating a distraction by whirling up sand once he hit the open space by driving zig-zag or in a circle. Once the attackers are disoriented either use this decoy to get away or snipe out the command vehicle.

damnit

This isn't a complete review of the movie but rather an addendum to JvH48's review.

My criticism of which would be the lack of understanding of the first and last scene. "[...] some of the scenes seem endless, particularly the one at the beginning where we have a slowly changing view on the sea, without any hint whatsoever how it relates to the plot at hand."

The first and last scene connect in a beautifully simplistic way the two, separately developed story lines of Lidia and Rafael. Their deceased son as the common element. This gives a wholly different point of view. Work as their way to escape traumatic events. Lifelong Catharsis. Maybe.
