What the critics say average 7.3 from 5
- 8.0 VarietyDennis Harvey
Zandvliet's script and direction avoid milking an innately loaded situation for excess melodrama or pathos, sticking to a discreet economy of approach that accumulates considerable power.
Read - 8.0 The Hollywood ReporterStephen Farber
The film works as a moving anti-war essay and as a gripping thriller.
Read - 8.0 Los Angeles TimesKenneth Turan
Crisply and efficiently put together by writer-director Zandvliet, Land of Mine has the inherent edge-of-your-seat concern about what kind of damage the bombs will inflict on which of these boys, but it is the psychological qualities of the situation that hold the greatest interest.

The cheesiest thing about it is the punny English-language title with which it's been saddled. Otherwise, Land Of Mine is tough and admirably grim, turning a harrowing history lesson into a study in how the battles of wartime don't always cease with the ceasefire.

Land of Mine is essentially bomb porn.
