Fire Over Afghanistan (2003)

Please do not watch this movie. The story is too boring. Too much dumb flashbacks. Too open-ended. Its better than "Escape from Afghanistan", but still seriously bad. The special effects, well even I can create better special effects, they look absolutely terrible. The helicopters look like its an "MS-DOS 1.0" game, and the computer-generated sound of the guns is so annoying. Don't watch/buy it, not even for 0,5 cents. Please watch a real movie, and not this crap, because its just too bad.I can't believe its made in 2003; the special effects make it look like it was made in 1960. The music is also bad, don't bother about that either. The only reasonably good actor is that American general. Only watch it when you love bad movies. If the story was better, it could have been a good movie. But it isn't.

It's unusual to see people in a war movie who have lives and not just guns. These has heart and purpose. There was too much violence but there images that are heart breaking. My husband made me watch it because he knew how strongly I felt about that awful situation. The woman's performance was particularly compelling. It must be difficult to be a woman in a society so skewed as that area of the world is and she did a wonderful job making us experience it. Also the character of Massood; it's clear he was based on the real life individual whose life was cut short, and the sensitivity the actor brought to him echoes the loss of a man who was leader in a time of terrible crisis.

Dont let the MPAA fool you with their "Rated R for extreme violence" there is definatly no extreme violence in this boring peice of s*t. I expected some cheap rambo 3 type action that the trailer promised, however its just boring boring nonsense with tons of lame slow mo flashbacks that make no sense. AVOID!

I got the screener in the mail and thanks to word of mouth about the female lead in the movie, sat right down to watch it.What I've heard is true. This woman has a talent that ranks right up there. I'm actually disappointed that I haven't seen more of her.The movie itself is set in a scene that we've unfortunately either have gotten too familiar with or have become sanitized against, but thanks to the lead charactes in this movie, we get to look at it from a more personal view: two people in the middle of the war and having to make their way out against the odds.I found myself watching it in two ways: one as a viewer and reviewer of films and the cast involved, and then as an audience member. Two things stood out from both: the part of Kris Andrews was intense; anyone that has the talent to carry it out during the more violent scenes and then show when she finds a breaking point and takes matters into her own hands to save herself so that the audience is actually cheering her on to do it... well, that's good old fashion talent and, why was Fred Dryer in the movie when we only got to see a few minutes of him? I had hoped for a little more involvement there.This movie is a straight to video but if all the movies were like this, I doubt I'd want to go to the theatre.***** out of *****!
