Actuakers One of my all time favorites.

Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined

Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Leofwine_draca KAJAKI: A TRUE STORY is a simple, small scale tale about a group of British soldiers fighting the Taliban in Afghanistan. Unfortunately their squad wanders into a mine field, men are trapped and wounded, and the survivors have to figure out how to get everyone out of the situation. This was a true story and it's a film made with a decent premise, but if I'm truthful I was expecting more. The first third of the film feels like padding, attempting to introduce the characters but failing to make them interesting or likeable. Mark Stanley, best known as Grenn in GAME OF THRONES, bags the lead role and is miles away from his best-known character. Once the action shifts to the mine field the tension increases, but it does flag a little before the credits roll. My main gripe with this is that the script is pretty bone-headed, constant swearing and repetition; I would have preferred no dialogue at all to this.

christianroberts-251-390470 Unbelievably realistic and horrific war film. Excellent

JohnAU1965 This is a gripping, realistic film portraying events in Afghanistan as experienced by British Paras. It's interesting to read reviews by ex- servicemen & those with knowledge of the subject matter and the praises heaped (quite rightly) upon the movie and all associated with it in comparison to those who aren't ex-servicemen and lack knowledge regarding the issues men face in war and their sad little comments about 'how they'd do things if they were there'.War can be dull, dreary and interminable. Kudos to the production team for giving us reality instead of the over-hyped patriotic dross we see in American Sniper & 13 Hours.

alex-flach Having served this film is often too painful to watch (the reason for my giving it a 9/10). It expresses the suffering and comradeship of warfare. This isn't just a film it's an education for a society disassociated from war. For those critics war isn't glorious or romantic. It's dirty and boring, and yes, people screw up. If you're stuck in a minefield without all the Gucci kit it's a bayonet and you're belt buckle, and it's hot and tiring and you make mistakes. Soldiers (at least the Toms) don't speak received English (so maybe you might have to pay more attention to what is being said)and yes they swear, live with it! There are plenty of wonderful war films where the (usually American) protagonists win the day with either a fashionable injury or glorious death; this isn't one of them. There is however humour and pathos in war and this expressed in loads. If everyone knew what war was really like nobody would want anything to do with one.
