a5c7b9f00b Three different men, three different worlds, three different wars - all stand at the intersection of modern warfare - a murky world of fluid morality where all is notit seems. I thought this was pretty damn good, but then I like war films where the protagonists aren&#39;t always flawless and righteous no matter what they do – morally ambiguous is what I&#39;m going for here.. Mostly the story revolves around the military aspect of building the title road, from the snipers and soldiers on the ground laying protection and scouting, to command relaying information and shaking hands, to intelligence playing chess with what information they have. From my understanding at least some of the footage was taken on a trip to Afghanistan, and it seems most of the cinematography was adjusted to match that, which while irritating at times did add to the overall effect. On the other hand, while I&#39;m sure such things happen on base, the romance subplot was unnecessaryit added nothing but some melodrama to the plot. The narration, while somewhat informative, really did feel out of place,I don&#39;t care about Alexander the Great&#39;s story; if they wanted it there for background than it would have been bettera story in dialog. Those aspects aside, I found this much more palatable than &#39;American Sniper&#39;, a film which gets worse the more I think about it.<br/><br/>Source: http://www.megashare-viooz.net/hyena-road-2015.html Well done to Paul Gross and the cast of Hyena Road for creating an authentic Canadian war movie. Being a Canadian Army officer, I had to go see this one in the theater. It was an opportune timeI was able to go with my son, a 2nd year economics student home on his Fall break. <br/><br/>The movie was entertaining, emotional and educational. Hyena Road weaves the perspectives of war fighters into an telling story of the character of the Canadian experience in Kandahar Province. It keeps you engaged throughout with a mix of action, soldiering and the very human dimension to conflict. <br/><br/>&quot;Inside the wire, we think about what to do outside the wire. We get it wrong fifty percent of the time which means we get it right the other fifty percent of the time&quot; and &quot; We have to remember that the end state is not for children to fly kites&quot; were themes that stuck with uswe drove away from the theater. <br/><br/>Thanks Paul,<br/><br/>Major Brian Taylor, Canadian Army Geopolitical speculation aside, Gross makes a persuasive case for the bravery and sacrifice of Canadian troops serving during the Afghanistan conflict.
