Odnazhdy v Pustyne plot
The ancient Syrian city of Palmyra was recently liberated from ISIS. A special team from the Explosive Ordnance Disposal Service is clearing the road to the city of explosives left behind by the terrorists, kilometer by kilometer. But the closer the deminers get to the center of Palmyra, the more devastating the explosives are. Tension grows between the young team captain and the most experienced EOD experts. And yet, when the team is ambushed and the captain is kidnapped, it's the veteran deminer who sets out to rescue him.

Mediocre war movie. The story feels like loose sand and lacks a clean line. The film flies a bit from heel to branch. The opening is quite good and visually surprisingly beautiful with good cgi and camera work. After that, the fun is pretty much over. Not that the film is boring, but it just doesn't fascinate because, as indicated, the focus is missed. The action scenes are otherwise reasonable, but don't make it to the opening scene. The ending is weak. Most disturbing is the soundtrack, which is completely out of place. Very strong start, but then downhill fast. 2.0/2.5
