It’s the story about a surprising friendship that emerges as CIA operative and his afghan translator flee for their lives after exposing a covert mission.
Kandahar features Gerald Butler and Aladdin’s Navid Neghban as they show just how dangerous the Middle East can be especially for Americans and those who wish to help them. All in all, both Butler and Neghban do an ecceptional job of this.
Similar to another move that came out last month, The Covenant, Kandahar delves even more into the dangers in a way that Covenant could not. It also shows the operative that made both the wanted as they sought out to do what they were called to do, before fleeing for the aircraft that would take them back.
Also like The Covenant, Kandahar also had the added element of the families that both Butler and Neghban sought to get back to, but different is the fact that neither leaves one another until they are safely on the airplane.
Ultimately, Kandahar, which came out May 26, 2023, is a move for anyone who longs for a good war movie with historical roots. Though is not directly based on any one particular story, it is a story that is similar to what many went though in the Middle East just about ten years ago.
It is currently playing in a theater near you and is fitting for coming out Memorial day weekend.
