Kandagar (original title)

Director: Andrei Kavun

Actually it's a documentary action movie. And a stressful one though you can wait for a happy end just like in "Flight of the Phoenix" (2004). Good make-up, good playing showing a war-time situation. Baluev did an outstanding job. Sound could be better, sometimes you even can't clearly hear the whispers of the heroes. The story takes place in a part of Afghanistan under Taliban control. Some moments of murder remind us that war is taking place there. This movie teaches that if you have an aim you must go to the end, otherwise you lose. And if you are a little group in surrounding of a majority, you should keep together. It's a very brutal movie, very truthful and realistic
