Hyena Road (2015)
Written, directed by
and starring Paul Gross this film also stars Rossif Sutherland as
well as Christine Horne. Canadian forces in Afghanistan trying to
build a new major road through Taliban territory struggle to deal
with the locals.
While this film takes
a decent stab at framing the conflict in Afghanistan as much more
complicated than we understand it in the West it never really nails
it. Some of the dialogue is a little wobbly at times and the romantic
sub plot does not really add to the story. This is a decent attempt
but ultimately a bit too familiar and lacking polish.
2/5
