Algérie, 1959. Les opérations militaires s’intensifient. Dans les hautes montagnes kabyles, Terrien, un lieutenant idéaliste, prend le commandement d’une section de l’armée française. Il y rencontre le sergent Dougnac, un militaire désabusé. Leurs différences et la dure réalité du terrain vont vite mettre à l’épreuve les deux hommes. Perdus dans une guerre qui ne dit pas son nom, ils vont découvrir qu’ils n’ont comme pire ennemi qu’eux-mêmes. (SND)

A very good, but certainly not pleasant, war spectacle, which must therefore impress the French even more than it impresses us, but this does not mean that it is not suggestive enough. I guess that's how they perceive the Czech film Tobruk abroad. Yes, Intimate Enemies is a fairly traditional story, but that's part of the genre, and it's more about the delivery, which is second to none, and the actors, of whom Albert Dupontel in particular is an exemplary badass and actually a likable guy - as he should be. The budget is evident, many scenes are really strong (napalm), and Desplat's music is great. I think I liked Special Forces better, but not by much.
