The Patrol (2013)
The strongest anti-war film I have seen in years

I saw this film at the Raindance Film Festival in London and was literally blown away: The sheer simplicity of the story layered with as convincingly portrayed combat scenes you are likely to see anywhere in the movies, with a strong underlying message that underscores the futility of armed combat. By the end of the movie you see half a dozen British soldier trudging through the sand and you wonder what act of political madness sent these good men on a mission of futility.
The fact that a Brit has launched his feature film career with a movie of this ambition is, quite frankly, awesome.
Also of note: Was Nominated for a British Independent Film Award
