What if an otherwise normal boy grew up with the ability to grow a blade from his hand—a blade so sharp that it could cut through almost anything?
Sounds like the setting for a super-hero action movie, but it isn't, exactly. This bleak Russian film treats the subject in a more true to life fashion—the boy has no understanding of how to control this power at first, and kills several people when reacting in self-defense. Alienated and alone, Sasha continues to use violence as a means to an end as an adult.
"And I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see" - Revelation 6:1
Unlike most war films, Come and See doesn't really portray soldiers making war on soldiers. It portrays soldiers making war on civilians, in horrific, heartbreaking detail.
