Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

ThiefHott Too much of everything

Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.

ThrillMessage There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

Theo Robertson This came with a fair bit of acclaim in the build up to its release . Upon its release it did very little. This shouldn't be seen as to a comment on its quality , more down to the fact that a lot of British films fail to attract a major distribution deal. There's possibly something else and that is by 2014 Afghanistan had become a forgotten . NATO had done its best to make a fractured failed state in to a secular democracy. It was a failure but a noble one. It was also a conflict that was often waged by the Taliban via roadside bombs and other booby traps. In other words it's not a conflict that'll lend itself to pitched "war porn" type battles by Hollywood studios. If nothing else any film featuring Afghanistan can't be any worse than the previous British effort THE PATROL from the year before Thankfully KAJAKI does nail the mentality of the modern volunteer soldier. Conscription ended in Britain in 1960 and no one was happier than the British military themselves . If you have a military composed of people who want to be there you've got a better military machine and it's good to see the rest of NATO adopt a voluntary military. From the outset KAJAKI nails this point very accurately with Tug saying he left the army after being disappointed by the lack of action he saw in Iraq and re-enlisted when Britain extended its mission in Afghanistan. Civilians in general and the anti-war brigade in particular constantly forget that young men join the army to see some heavy duty adventure. Indeed one of the legacies of the Afghan conflict was the phenomena of "The grief whore" who'd line the streets of Wootan Bssset every time they'd hear bodies of military personal were repatriated As it stands KAJAKI is a story of British courage. In some ways it's a stark , poignant metaphor for the NATO mission to Afghanistan . It shows the unbreakable bond between soldiers and a heroic courage most humans are unaware of. The downside is that "war is 99% boredom and 1% terror". There's a danger that if you're making a film based on fact then if you're embellishing a story then the truth becomes more and more diluted due to embellishment. I don't feel KAJAKI suffers from embellishment but at the same time there does seem to be something missing. I guess that's because I'm a civilian and death on the battlefield is something unknown to me ? At the end of the day the veterans are more qualified than me to comment on the conflict in Afghanistan and I'll look forward to reading their comments

Mike B Yes this is realistic and, yes it's based on a true story. But this just didn't work. We get an introduction to our characters with a lot of troop dialogue, some of it incomprehensible due to the accents. Anyway, after we see the settings and the stark mountainous scenery our soldiers go out on a patrol.They step into a minefield. One fellow lies screaming in agony, as we would expect. Then after an interlude another soldier steps on mine. At this stage, we know war is hell and soldiers fall into dire and hopeless situations. But it really becomes excruciating and repetitive – and it drags on for at least an hour. I started fast- forwarding and it was almost like the same scenes kept being repeated. It just became too much – the screaming, the blood, the gushing limbs, the tourniquets applied...

tnfitzgerald_1985 I've never seen a movie capture what it is to be a soldier better. British, American or whatever. Watch this - it's history not a film.There have been many films made about Afghanistan/Iraq over the last few years and they are all afforded a degree of Hollywood Licencing. The Hurt Locker being an excellent example, almost good but ruined by pandering to a less intelligent audience.If I was asked to describe what being a soldier is I could only ever point to this film. There is nothing there that is overdone or underdone. It just is what it is meant to be.

DominaTroy I watched this movie with no real expectations, however knowing a lot about Kajaki and those who were there in 2006. In the Afghani/War on terror, many movies come out that have no realism, no research, no detail specifications or background information. I found this movie to be on point in all of those categories making it a real and horrifying viewing experience. Controversial war films are rarely made these days. This was a controversial time in the 21st century when many who were in Kajaki in 2006 will, most definitely, relate to and understand. Many war movies use the same army gear, guns, etc however there is a huge difference between all factions, countries, and wars. This movie, if you know a little about war history, just by turning it on you would know the place, incident, and year. The director/costume people did a fantastic job with the accuracy right down to the TATTOOS ON soldiers. Another bold and extremely accurate detail I found was the attention to mines and effect they have when one is triggered. Spot on. The makeup was so real, and accurate, is was like I was there. The men in this movie told a story. The story was the soldiers telling it, not the action going on around it. That is a what I call a fantastic script. A soldier is your brother, or sister, and in a life or death situation, They're not going to just run because it's too dangerous. This film was a showcase of bravery and truth. I wish they had gone a little further with some of the other issues at hand in Kajaki but this was the issue at hand and 10 stars for taking the leap. I don't see any mystery, however.. Not much mystery in this movie, straight up a war drama. A tragic, funny, and a display of brothers in arms.
