Watched Tyrict yesterday. Made by Wagner just like Best in Hell. It is more story driven than the letter, but similarly action focused. I couldn't watch it in one sitting, in fact only in several, so I might do it again (unlikely).
Since I don't know the exact situation in the Central African Republic I could treat the story as entirely fictional. Obvious political message was only at the penultimate scene, about how Russia made it possible for CAR to have a legitimate election and whatnot. Albeit just before it seemed they depicted an instance of corruption in Russia. Anyway, up to that point the movie is devoid from this stuff, and mostly enjoyable.
The acting ain't good, but the choreography of the action scenes are swell. There are some injuries depicted and whatnot that - while might be amateurish in their depiction - seem realistic. The film also features the usual camaraderie themes can be found in war movies.
What bothered me is the shaky camera, which is plausible and a legit choice for such a movie, but while reading the not so well translated subtitles, it was distracting.
There is a main character but there are so many things going on, comparatively short screentime is spent on him, so empathizing with him, or understanding his actions is not easy. I think he serves more like an entry point for the story and an introduction to the unit and how things are going there.
The negress is kinda cute so that's plus.
