Kandahar (2023)

Escrito por MovieGuys el 17 de junio de 2023

Yet another military pot boiler, starring, once again, Gerard Butler.

Kandahar pretends to be open and inclusive. There's a modest plug for nationalism/patriotism, from the perspective of different nations.That said, this film is essentially about saving a man who commits a pretty awful act of terrorism, in another nation, at the behest of the CIA.

Its quite watchable, there's a lot of serviceable action. That' said, its hard to overlook the predictable marketing of US/UK exceptionalism as "A-OK". Sorry but as far as this viewers concerned, it's anything but "OK".

In summary, a pro Western military action flick. Quite watchable in its own way but as they say "it is what it is". There's no changing that.
