Decent story, some great scenic backdrops. Well worth 2 hours of your time.

This was the most expensive homemade video made for no one.

Dylan is a native Canadian soldier fighting in Afghanistan. He gets tricked by his interpreter and captured by the Taliban. This is a small Canadian film with some emphasis on native culture. The flashbacks could be more precise. The interrogation gets quite intense. This is a mixed result. There are some good moments but the less competent filmmaking holds it back.

The climax of this movie was... well, the end, but not an ending. The film spends a long time developing the characters, and only as you're starting to care what happens to these people, the film reaches a climatic scene, then ends as if the film had broken at that spot. I had the feeling that the story writer got tired of writing near the end, so she just wrote "the end" and quit writing. You're left to make assumptions about how it ended or what the ultimate fates of the characters were.

Dylan is a Native American Canadian who enlists in the military after his lover and cousin kills herself, aka Romeo and Juliet. Almost. He is captured by the Taliban and all sorts of comparisons are made between his family and their family. Between the Arabs and Native Americans and their relationship to the white man. Apparently our commonality was the theme. I was bored for much of the feature, Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.
