The true cruelty tells how war can turn a person into a beast of destruction. Its unique perspective is more realistic and credible than previous war movies, and the cold expression makes the film extra sympathetic.

4 stars, as an anti-war movie, this film is already very meaningful. The devastation of war on human beings is appalling. But the content of the film is still a little worse than the title. The translation of No Nation means "there is no country". The beasts without a country and nation, their battles are meaningless, and there is no reason to slaughter their own people, just to be like a beast robbing food, without humanity, without thinking , No future, no tomorrow.

Commandant: So, you... You are the big man now, huh? Where will you be going? Huh? Will you surrender to the other NDF camp? No. they will eat you. And what of ECOMOD? Huh? That might be better, but what next? Jail? War crimes? Huh? You think you can just go and do what you want in peace? You will go back to your village and your family will not associate themselves with you. Huh? You will be nothing. You and your uneducated, poor mind, you'll be NOTHING. Nobody will care for you. Huh? Look at you. And you will wake up and you will rise and see the sun rise and see the sun set, and you can just wait all day ALL DAY with thousands of men just like you, waiting for somebody to give you a job. Huh? that's what you want to go and do? You are stupid! You have Nothing! No future! I am your future.
