Leave your thoughts about Kandahar.
| Austin ChronicleRichard WhittakerWhile Kandahar is undoubtedly spectacular war cinema, it's also a weighty meditation on the seeming impossibility for some of walking away from conflict. |
| San Francisco ChronicleG. Allen JohnsonIt’s an action and suspense film, and, like Butler’s earlier 2023 flick “Plane,” a good one. Impressive set pieces include a car chase through a small-town bazaar, and a midnight shootout between Tom, outfitted with night-vision goggles, and a helicopter. |
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Barry HertzThe dialogue is to the point without being eye-rolling, the action is meaty and mostly CGI-free (the highlight is a night-vision firefight) and the performances are committed, even touching. |
| IndieWireChristian ZilkoFor better or worse, Kandahar is a throwback to the kind of Tom Clancy-inspired geopolitical thrillers that used to be a bi-weekly occurrence in the 1990s. |
| The Daily BeastNick SchagerWhat [Waugh] delivers is precisely what fans are likely looking for, albeit in a package that’s more politically muddled than is necessary. |
| Los Angeles TimesKatie WalshIt’s a pleasure to see Butler do his thing opposite a talented array of international performers — Fazal and Fimmel are standouts — and stretch his specific set of skills into more complex contemporary storytelling, making “Kandahar” worth the trip |
| The Film StageEthan VestbyThat Kandahar’s geopolitical ambiguity isn’t the richest is maybe to be expected, but paired with lame character dynamics, it sadly sells short the potential of Butler’s weary face under duress, something I’ll nonetheless keep returning to. |
| The PlaylistAndrew CrumpIn place of new, at least, we get to see Butler in his element as a man of compassion first and blazing guns second. |
| Original-CinThom ErnstKandahar is standard entertainment that pushes for more than what they can deliver. Slight entertainment is the best it can be. |
| Screen RantNadir SamaraKandahar won’t knock your socks off, but it offers a solid story that doesn’t try to be something it isn’t. |
