Kabul Express

You can look at the film as half full or dismiss it as half empty. Either way, it lands itself in a problematic terrain.

Only the cinematography of a stunningly beautiful landscape ravaged by war comes close to making this unroadworthy vehicle a mildly memorable journey.

Kabul Express at once lamely revives buddy road pics and trivializes global politics.

Kabul Express is the first foreign production shot in Afghanistan since the war, but [writer-director Kabir] Khan makes surprisingly little of his unique opportunity.
