This is a french film about…. you guessed it, their Special Forces!

It borrows very heavily from the Hollywood style and but for the French dialogue you could be mistaken for thinking this is a standard Hollywood action flick.

A nosey journalist gets kidnapped by the Taliban and because she’s female, all of France bends over backwards to rescue her. Then follows a major journey across the desert of Pakistan and snowy mountains to reach the safety of Afghanistan.

I know it sounds like I didn’t like this one much, but all in all (taking it for what it is) it is not a bad film with a pretty spectacular ending.
