User Reviews

Interesting first half, then goes downhill

Short and simple review without spoilers. Afghan Knights.

Starts off with an interesting storyline, 4 soldiers being payed to collect someone from Afgan and bring him back. They have a little back story, although no emotion is there for the characters. Suddenly, they arrive in Afghan and it takes a little while to realise it's not a flashback, as there have already been several by this point.

2nd half, I quickly lost interest and the storyline becomes a mess.

5/10 for this film. You get what you pay for.

If low budget supernatural/action films is your thing, you will enjoy this film. Give it a watch on a Sunday when there is nothing on TV.
