KANDAHAR

After blowing up a nuclear facility in Iran, CIA black op Tom Harris (Gerard Butler) and his translator Mohammad (Navid Negahban) must get to Kandahar, which is 400 miles from their current location, in order to be safely extracted to safety. Based upon the premise alone, you'd consider this film to have a lot of suspense and action but sadly, that is not the case. There are in fact action scenes but they are few and far in between. The story moves at a snails pace, picking up the action every so many pages of the script; which as an audience member, lends to my lack of interest going forward as this roller coaster ride unfortunately does little to hold my attention. All involved (including Butler) seem to drown in the weak script as nobody stands out as noteworthy. 5/10
