There was a couple of brilliant moments, but it did not work for me as a whole, as a work of art. The author knows what he's talking about but at the same time it seems as he does not know what he's trying to say exactly. It is reflected in the protagonist who switches his personality in every scene (and they are not mood swings or anything like that, he just keeps changing his character) and Charlie Sheen is just too wooden to convey why. In conjuction with the bland voice-over it all seems like a school assignment on the topic of "war is bad". But damn, Willem is so angelically beautiful.
