Viewing Notes

Still catching up on stuff I missed in the theater due to being sick and/or at Panic Fest. This was pretty good, though the final act felt a little too rushed (even though overall the movie felt a little too long so who am I to say). It does really drive home the utter failure of the U.S.‘s hasty withdrawal from Afghanistan and how devastating it continues to be for the people left behind. Too many years wasted in that country to achieve absolutely nothing for the people who actually call it home.
