Breaker Morant is one of those movies that you stumble upon by pure chance. Being an Australian movie does not really help it either. But I consider this, a gem of a war movie in any of its sub genres. Placed in the time of Boer Wars in South Africa, this movie is about the cout marial of three Australian Commandos fighting for British. This movie is in equal parts court drama, historical, action, true story and one of the most philosphically deep movies. Satifying in entirety this movie shows the grey lines of morality in a dirty war fought between British Empire and the Dutch Setttlers in South Africa. Filmed in 1980 this movie can't be more relevant in this day. Absolutely powerful movie.
