Man loses his family in 9-11 and goes to Afghanistan to hunt for Osama Bin Laden and kill him.

Very real film. Intense and emotional. I was hooked from the start. The plot line was interesting and daring. I enjoyed the controversial subject matter and rooted for the hero to get his revenge. The location and setting of the film made me film like I was with the hero in his hunt for Bin Laden. The excellent film making by Christian Johnston puts the viewer right in the middle of the action. The camera work in the film were beautiful, capturing the setting of the Northern Alliance world in a most captivating way. The action sequences were so riveting but not too violent. The movie displayed a desperate man on a suicide mission in very compasionate way.
