What hampers this movie starring Jake Gyllenhaal is the director’s clashing sensibilities.
The prolific British director has, for the moment, left behind quirky crime and comedy for his Afghanistan War film — and it’s not hard to understand why.
Ritchie craves seriousness, but has military guys speak with quick-fire cleverness like wacky gangsters. He wants a war film, but the endless ambushes and shootouts hew closer to the traditional action genre he’s more comfortable with. And, in the sergeant’s quest to repay his savior, the director pursues teary emotion but seems confused on how to deliver it.
When Ahmed is first assigned to Kinley’s team that is tasked with seeking out and destroying Taliban explosives, the two are frosty. They being to respect each other when the interpreter proves to not only be reliable, but unfailingly loyal. The first third of the movie is mostly sniper fire and chatter at the Army base; the second is Kinley and Ahmed’s treacherous trek through the Afghan wilderness; and the final part is Kinley attempting to fulfill the visa promise in the manner of a guy-gone-rogue thriller.
