From acclaimed director Renny Harlin, 5 Days of War is an action-packed thriller that sheds light on the complicated politics and danger involved with exposing the truth during wartime. Inspired by the real events of the swift, but devastating, five-day war between Russia and the Georgian Republic in 2008, this vivid, heart-pounding film centers around a renegade American journalist (Rupert Friend of LULLABY FOR PI, THE YOUNG VICTORIA), his cameraman (Richard Coyle of PRINCE OF PERSIA: THE SANDS OF TIME), and a young schoolteacher (Emmanuelle Chriqui of TV's ENTOURAGE) caught in the combat zone during the first Russian airstrikes against Georgia. Attempting to broadcast the footage they've captured while under attack, they are met with resistance from international networks, fatigued by war news. The trio fights to live, and to live to tell the truth.

It is hard to give this movie a good rating, it shows how hard it is for journalists in a war zone however the massive historical and logical inaccuracies are hard to count. This movie is very one-sided in my opinion without even looking into the history of the conflict or what started or the reactions of the international community on the Russian Federation after the war (for in my opinion defending its citizens). The movie seems to relate the army of the Russian Federations to pirates in Somalia by acting as if they walked into these towns an attacked the inhabitants who are civilians (any real research on the topic shows very much otherwise).

Russia had every write to do what they did. Georgia started the mess... By bombing Russia's territory... and they responded.. Georgia how ever didn't like the response because they got owned...

Enjoyed the storyline....just know its loosely based on reality.
