A war movie not about territory (a bridge, a beach, airspace) but about: a baby. A person.
There won't be any abstract "victory" by moving forward or holding the line. Either the baby makes it, or not.
This movie reminded me of "Cloverfield," which is just about one of the most territory-centric war movies in recent memory. It had a similar up-close, in-the-street, lookout-for-that-exploding-car feel that kept up the pace and tension, even during the sequences that merely set up some later scene.
All the way up to the final shot, whether the baby makes it is an open question, no matter how much territory they've covered.
