Why jake gyllenhaal isn't a huge star is odd. He has all the ingredients necessary. Maybe no real super hero credentials. Who knows. Here he plays an army sgt after the taliban, with the help of dar salim, an interpreter. Not translater. After the taliban put a price tag on their heads, jake is almost killed and captured, but saved by dar salim. Heroically. Jake gets sent back home. Leaving dar hiding from the taliban. He had been promised visa's and passports to the usa. Promises not kept. Naturally jake has to get salim and his family out and that's our story. Because i knew where we were headed i was not enjoying this cliche ridden story. However, it won me over, finally. Maybe it will you, too. The nyc audience applauded at the end. That always says a lot.
