This week Finn & Uther (in separate rooms for the first time) watched 'The Battle of Algiers' (1966), Pontecorvo's brilliantly humane and incisively political episodic portrait of urban guerilla warfare. With that, they watched 'Red Dawn' (2012), which is basically the same as 'Battle of Algiers' just without the incisive, humane or brilliant parts.
