Dar Salim. He played one of the blood riders of Khal Drago in Game of Thrones who you barely get to see his acting abilities throughout the few episodes of the show he appears in. Just goes to show how there are so many talented actors that are just waiting for their big break.
One of the first times I've seen a movie depicting US allies as actual competent allies and not idiots or side characters to get killed off to make the US look comparatively better
Fantastic movie. I very much appreciated how they portrayed Ahmed to be so adept. It's a welcome change from the usual depictions of Afghans as savages or simpletons and displays how beneficial they were during the war.
Watch the documentary “This is What Winning Looks Like”. There is a good reason Afghanis are represented as incompetent. It is honest. Ahmed is an American educated man with combat experience... he is an exception.

While the movie is fiction - the circumstances are NOT. Many Afghans helped the allied military - not just the Americans - with guidance and translation over the years. They are now being hunted by the Taliban, since they took over in August 2021. Remember those chaotic scenes at Kabul airport and the USAF C.17 that took off with over 600 locals eager to escape ? Despite the promises, many were left behind - now to be subject to lazy visa processing and bureaucratic demands for paperwork. By the Australian Home Affairs Department especially - who do not operate on the principle NO ONE LEFT BEHIND.
I understand why the taliban are hunting them though and just dont think its "barbaric" they are traitors for even trying to communicate with USA imagine if some random afghanis showed up in USA, YOUD AVOID THEM AND CONSIDER people from USA who communicate with them BAD and for a reason. the whole thing is very unfortunate but it comes down to USA having no right to be there.
@@je7647 uhhhh, no. The Taliban are monsters. Many people living under the Taliban don't like the Taliban. They are religious extremists with zero respect for other religions, women, civilians, etc.
Except they were working with the American government which was working with the Afghan government. The Taliban were a group trying to seize power. And if you are going to call these people traitors, then what are the Taliban? they also use foreign support to fund their war, from Pakistan to Arabs from the gulf states. The conflict isn't so simple as America and "traitors" vs Afghans. As for having the right to be there, its called a war. we invaded. Then the afghan government wanted us to stay. Who are you to say that we have no right to be there when there were afghans in the country begging us to remain and help?
Easily one of the most overlooked and under-appreciated films in the past decade or so. War films are usually always the same thing, but this one was different. It was more of brotherhood than war.
This movie needs to be shared and watched by everyone so people understand what the US government did to these Afghans who helped us and then we broke our promises and left them to be hunted by the Taliban. They are still being hunted and killed to this day.
@@shivamparashar6334 not at all, and by Indians were you referencing the indigenous peoples of Siberia?

I got the same impression from this movie. But, instead of writing youtube comments brainwashed, i checked google. US gov issued over 70.000 visas for 50.000 interpreters in the afghan war. So don't know why this movie is so fuss on uncle sam.

People were giving this scene a hard time in yt shorts, saying that a commander would've never taken the traitors' side, but more context shows they didn't know anything yet.
Leaving these type of guys behind in Afghanistan is one of the most disgusting things the US state dept. has done. Similar to a lot of south vietnamese
I mean at this point we all know not to trust the USA in particular. They will use you and throw you away, and everyone knows it. Having said that, We (German Army) did something similar in Afghanistan. People helped us for a long time, and then we abandoned them. Shamful, but one good thing comes from it: Do not trust anybody, ever. Certainly not a country, but also no person. People are dogshit.
Can’t blame all of the US. Blame Biden and his all knowing wisdom. Theres soldiers and marines that would give their life for the interpreters, not much they can do if those same soldiers are told to leave the country. Orders are orders.
The attention to detail in this movie is wonderful. At 3:26 when he inserts his beretta back into the serpa holster you notice his trigger finger presses on the back side of the latch to ensure it’s locked into place. We did this in country because they had a habit of not being secured when inserted sometimes.
I haven't seen the full movie yet, but I keep seeing all the shorts on YT. I understand why you've watched it so much. I saw Saving Private Ryan 27 times in the theaters.(still got all the tickets.) It was..still is a compelling movie. And The Covenant, feels like every scene has its heart in the details. Story wise, scenery, cinematography, or dialog. Much like S.P.R.
He is absolutely right. There is a big difference between translating and interpreting. Interpreting is supposed to mitigate things getting "lost in the translation". The same thing for assuming and deducting. I have heard from Marines who had seen a lot of combat that you should never ignore your insticts. On a side note, the soundtrack for this movie is superb
The premise and trailer make it look so bad but it’s genuinely a brilliant bit of film making. The character development was some of the best I’ve seen in any modern movie.

Jake is one of the best actors of my generation. He sinks deep into his roles and delivers detailed convincing acting. Love this dude and all his work. Cant wait to watch Road House.
A man who can’t admit a mistake may remain someone circumstances force you to continue obeying, but any sane person would lose all respect for such a man’s judgment. We’re all fallible, and some of us can admit that, but more and more these days, many can’t.
He portrayed the "i know everything" American operator/terrorist quite good at the start. At least the guy in the movie learned his lesson by the end of it.
This movie was awesome never leave a man behind no matter what nationality you are if you are a good men with a good heart that's good enough for me to call u my brother
This movie and "The Kingdom" both depict just how great and integral as allies these people made themselves out to be irl. It is unfortunate that our governments have made our people fight. It is, however, comforting to know they both have founded brotherhoods amongst one another when fighting a common enemy.
MCU would've been wise to cast Dar Salim as Kang. The guy just has *that* presence/charisma to him. Like, he speaks and you listen because of his posture and delivery. Very great movie with a very great performance from him and Jake G, as well as a great, riveting soundtrack and story!
