Not a Documentary but Worth Watching
29 November 2006
Warning: Spoilers
Harrowing, obsessive quest of a photojournalist in lawless Afghanistan. Although it's a movie, it seems like a documentary. The on-site filming and the use of actual Afghan police and other locals heighten the documentary "look & feel" of the movie.

The Dolby/DTS 5.1 soundtrack during the gun battle and the chase scenes will have you feeling like ducking for cover from the bullets and rockets. You'll hear the rockets whoosh from your front to rear speakers and then explode behind you. You'll hear the bullets whiz from L to R and front to rear speakers. The explosion of the 2,000 lb bomb" will give your sub-woofer a resounding workout.

The final scene sheds welcome light on the main character's relentless pursuit of Osama Bin Laden.

In the DVD release, the Director's Commentary and the MAKING OF features are well WORTH watching too -- very enlightening and entertaining.
