Rating: 7 out of 10, Gerard Butler running around with lots
of explosions going on around him, again. I hadn’t heard much about this but
it’s a pretty taut action flick. Butler plays a CIA contractor in Iran helping
take down an Iranian nuclear facility. The Iranians are not pleased and take
exception to his efforts, especially after they learn his identity from a
newspaper writer and that he’s hanging out in nearby Afghanistan. The bulk of
the movie has Butler and his Afghani translator making their away across
Taliban controlled Afghanistan with everybody, and I mean everybody, trying to
kill them. It’s a very engaging story with some real humanity between the two.
Butler does so well in these type roles and he delivers again.
MVP:
Negahban as Mo the translators, so much depth
