The Kite Runner/Flyga Drake


...Or the art of ruining a film with its soundtrack.

The film is an adaptation of a best seller (Khaled Hosseini), director Marc Forster.
It takes us to the Middle East where yesterday's cowardness must be erased by today's courage.
The story is predictable and even if this is a "nice movie", the music kills every attempt to move us.
It is already hard to feel empathy for 'adult Amir', but with this noisy soundtrack, it becomes worse.
The young Amir, and especially the young Hassan (Ahmad Khan Mahmoodzada) are definitely the best actors and their performance deserves the audience's attention.
