Customer Reviews:

A good film on friendship (true and betrayed) (19 November 2008)
A good poetic look on Afghan pre-wars (80') society, with a rich and poors, casts and kites. All vanished in the storm of russian invasion and taliban's terror. Two boys, two brothers, a sad story of violence and treason, with a "sugar" happy final (but the movie isn't a "easy" film). Good cast, good plot. Only some scenes "a little" unreal, like the David vs Goliath escape from Talibans.

Emotional (23 October 2008)
This is not my normal sort of movie, but watched this with a friend. The film starts quite slowly, building up the background of our main characters and eventually moves to a very emotional climax. With an excellent script, story and acting, this movie has you getting frustrated with the characters and going through all that they are. With an interesting view of how Afghanistan and the Taliban are, this moving really opens your eyes and makes you think.

Love those foreign films... (11 October 2008)
Well done, heart-warming story, excellent actors, interesting culture and location/scenery - I highly recommend it.

Disappointed (02 October 2008)
One of those films you think you should see because it's been raved about. I found it slightly dull and not much happens most of the time.

Read the book (27 September 2008)
Rarely does a film adaptation of a book manage to do justice to the original, and I have to say this is no exception. Whilst magnificently cast the film is too brief, goes at too quick a pace and glosses over key moments that the book expresses so eloquently. A prime example of this is Amir's final confrontation with long time tormentor Assef which has been reduced here to little more than a smash and grab yarn. 'Kite runner' is a very powerful tale of friendship, betrayal,remorse and redemption but you will miss out on many colourful details without reading the book. The film is agreeable and faithful in character, but not great.
