Siver, did you watch "The Best in Hell"? From the creators of your favorite "Sunstroke." After my commander watched it, I have to run around with two machine guns on every mission.

The Best in Hell (2022)

Honestly, I didn't finish it; I dropped it halfway through. I understand that the part where everyone is constantly shouting is close to realism, judging by your other posts, except that in reality, there's probably more swearing (although there is some in the film). Otherwise, since I don't know much about the tactics of warfare and the technical specifications of military equipment, I can't really comment on that part of the film. I wouldn't have even paid attention to the two machine guns if I hadn't remembered your comment. Well, the scene where the plane blew up the box – I must say, that was impressive.
For those who haven't watched it: the film features conditional "Whites" and conditional "Yellows." They don't give us any hints about the nationalities of the warring parties, except that both sides have Soviet military equipment; otherwise, everyone speaks in clear Russian. The film is two hours long and consists, conditionally, of non-stop action, with breaks only for brief tactical briefings and comments; there are no particularly touching character developments. It seems that they tried to show a conditional military conflict in all its multifaceted glory – with mortars at close range, artillery at medium range, drone fire adjustment, and armored vehicles – but it still looks very cheap. Almost every time something explodes or even just a spent shell casing flies out of the artillery, they turn on slow motion so that the viewer can appreciate the money/materials spent. The shooting itself also feels very sterile – they show how some guys are shooting, then how sparks fly around other guys, and they shoot back. In general, I personally got bored, so I dropped it. The socio-political messages in "Sunstroke" were much more interesting.
By the way, about socio-political messages. It seems like there aren't any, but there are! In the film, the "whites" attack, and the "yellows" defend. They fight more or less equally, but the "whites" still fight more effectively and win. But even in the film itself, they explicitly say, "they think the same way we do," as if the film is about the confrontation of two equal opponents. If we assume that Prigozhin meant this film to be about the SMO (Special Military Operation), then a vigilant citizen could already see the seeds of betrayal here. After all, our President firmly and clearly stated that on the other side, there are drug addicts and neo-Nazis, and not just "ordinary guys," as it is in the film. This is an interesting point that I was able to see because I waited to watch the film!
