Review of Kandahar (2023) by Soulwarfare — 01 Jul 2023
This is a 2023 action movie about a US operative having to fight his way out of Afghanistan with his interpreter while being hunted. Wait isn't that the same plot as Guy Ritchie's The Covenant? It's a little weird that this movie came out just a month after The Covenant with almost the same plot.
The 3rd act and the ending is also VERY similar. The difference comes in execution and unfortunately, Kandahar isn't as good. The first hour is incredibly slow as it setups the whole plot but it takes ages.
The relationship between the main lead and the interpreter isn't that strong. The message isn't delivered in a very meaningful way. There is also not a lot of action set pieces even though there is a stellar night sequence in this one.
It's just another passable movie starring Gerald Butler.
