Kandahar

"As usual, Butler brings a convincing humanity and vulnerability to his action movie heroics."

"By law, every summer movie season should include at least one Gerard Butler film."

"The most surprising thing about Kandahar is how sharp the writing is."

"The reliable Butler is at his gritty, sweaty, bloody best."

"A routine chase-a-thon that at least doesn’t make room for xenophobia."

"While there are some admirable attempts to deviate from formula, (Kandahar) isn't going to be regarded among (Butler's) top tier."

"Not even a committed Gerard Butler can hold this one together."

"Underwhelming."

"Not particularly juicy or, you know, action-packed."

"Spectacular war cinema."

"Very much a box-ticking exercise."

"Sounds like it’s been musically scored by a subwoofer."

"It should at the very least be over-the-top enough to be entertaining."

"Gerard Butler proves he has more in the tank than just thoughtless action."
