5 Days of August’ is about the Russian-Georgian war in 2008. For most people this conflict is too complicated to understand. That’s exactly what this film tries to explain. Not an easy task. Even before the film was released, Russian state media already condemned it. That alone is reason enough to watch this film. A pretty darn good movie with some great special effects and an intelligent screenplay!
A war between Russia and Georgia, and focused on an American journalist, his cameraman, and a Georgian native who become caught in the crossfire. The plot is built around the travails of Rupert Friend’s character Thomas Anders, an American reporter, amid the chaos of invasion by Russian forces and irregular mercenaries.
