Review of The Kite Runner (2007) by Raymond W — 04 May 2012
The performances make this film, so the actors needed to be right on point, or this film wouldn't have been nearly as good as it is. Marc Forster and David Benioff have made a faithful adaption from the book, leaving out parts only necessary to the central story.
The acting on display here is immensely powerful, as is the whole film. I was very pleased with the transition from book to screen, but the magic in the book was lost. It's not completely vanished, but it's not as prominent as it should be.
The Kite Runner is a powerful, riveting, emotional film that is a faithful adaptation from the excellent novel.
