KANDAHAR

Having wrapped a successful mission in Iran, CIA operative Tom Harris (Gerard Butler) was cajoled into performing a Taliban disruption effort before coming home. Unfortunately, a contact from the prior job burned his cover-leaving he and translator Mo Doud (Navid Negahban) a mere thirty hours to brave treacherous terrain and determined killers and reach their extraction point. Gripping effort from director Ric Roman Waugh co-stars Travis Fimmel, Ali Fazal, Nina Toussaint-White. 119 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
