In a land where people of different cultures long lived in peace, there was a brief moment when love blossomed between Ajla, a Muslim artist, and Danijel, a Serb police officer. Then violence tore through the nation, pitting neighbor against neighbor. Now, Ajla has been taken prisoner -- saved from the darkest horrors of war only by her captor, Danijel. As circumstances place them on opposite sides of the conflict, their relationship is ravaged by questions of loyalty and betrayal.

I saw the trailer and thought it looked surprisingly good. It opened at one theater near me so I went to see it... it was bad. It was heavy handed, the tone was all over the place, and it just felt like nothing fit; no cohesion whatsoever. Jolie had good intentions, but her passion project ended up a major misfire. Jolie probably has the ability to make a good film, but this isn't it.
We're in "A woman of Paris" territory, here. The Charlie Chaplin film was his first mistake. A great film, but it missed a key ingredient: Chaplin himself, which people didn't like at the time. Today, "In the land of blood and honey" follows some of the same problems: an Angelina Jolie-directed movie, not starring her. It was an okay movie, but it would have gotten more coverage or importance had she starred. Just like Chaplin in "A woman of Paris"... history repeats itself, I tell you.
