Alien at the Movies

Kandahar 

In Afghanistan, Tom Harris (Gerard Butler) is an undercover CIA operative stuck deep in hostile territory. His identity & mission are exposed through an intelligence leak. It’s a thrilling & dangerous journey as he & his Afghan translator must make their way to an extraction point in Kandahar while avoiding the enemies hunting them down. This one sounds a lot like Guy Ritchie’s “Covenant”, but not quite. The first half kind of plods along slowly but the action & suspense picks up in the second in the second. Who will survive & who will die? There are no winners in war.

Alien gives it 2 “God’s Plan” stars out of 4.
