If you're craving a taut, visceral action thriller with real stakes and a solid premise, Kandahar delivers exactly what it promises — a nerve-wracking escape through hostile territory. The CIA operative-on-the-run formula is well-worn, but the Afghan setting and translator partnership add enough texture to make it worth your time tonight.

Plot

After his mission is exposed, an undercover CIA operative stuck deep in hostile territory in Afghanistan must fight his way out, alongside his Afghan translator, to an extraction point in Kandahar, all whilst avoiding elite enemy forces and foreign spies tasked with hunting them down.
