Summary
No Man's Land is Danis Tanovic's black comedy about the Bosnian war, set in 1993 between the Bosnian and Serb lines. A relief unit loses its way in fog and is cut down at first light; the survivor, Ciki, takes cover in an abandoned trench in the ground between the two armies. Two Serbs sent to check the trench booby-trap a corpse with a bouncing mine, only for the body — a wounded soldier named Cera — to wake up, unable to move without setting it off. Ciki and Nino, the young Serb conscript left alive with him, are stuck in the same hole, by turns trying to kill each other and to signal for help, while UN peacekeepers, their cautious command and a television news crew converge on the position.
No Man's Land is a 2001 comedy, drama and war film. It runs 1h 38m. It was made in Bosnia and Herzegovina, in Bosnian. It is rated R.
The cohort it is ranked inside is 2000s films — 7,847 of them. 123 IMDb reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, and those are the ones the calibrated score reads; a separate, broader pool of 127 reviewers with at least two reviews each feeds the raw-average track.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this title against every other title those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — a 7/10 from a hard grader sits well above their average, while a 7/10 from a generous grader sits below theirs. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a raw average.
- Global percentile
- Where No Man's Land lands against every title we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — titles of the same format released in the same decade. A 1970s film is judged against 1970s films, not against last year's streaming series. Ranked against Films · 2000s (7,847 titles).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each title keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 123.
