Critic Reviews

Lisa Nesselson

Gritty, engaging. Read full review

Jack Mathews

The results are often exciting and, except for occasional overacting by Calil, feels authentic. But the whole notion of exploiting a war and its victims to shoot a commercial feature is reprehensible. Read full review

David Sterritt

The movie's heart is in the right place, but it looks and sounds regrettably bogus. Read full review

Sheri Linden

Actual footage of Afghanistan makes it an interesting experiment, but as a dramatic thriller, the story of an American documaker is not as taut or compelling as it could be; instead, it's often confusing and irritating. Read full review

Laura Sinagra

The film outs itself as a shallow indie "Rambo." Read full review

Ernest Hardy

Intentionally blurs fiction and reality. Read full review

Jonathan Curiel

The most disingenuous film of the year. A sham. Pathetic. Embarrassing. The people behind this movie, which was made in Afghanistan, should be ashamed of themselves. Read full review

What is most reprehensible about this film is that this is an attempt to make money from the loss of life after 9-11. The actors should be embarrassed, similar techniques used in "Blair witch project" without the originality, in an attempt to dupe the American public.
