THE KITE RUNNER (Released to Theaters USA 2007)

 

Ben Meyers’ Rating: 4.0|5.0 Starsìììì The Kite Runner—thoughtfully written—serves its task of crossing international borders to enhance understanding of human loyalty and frailty. This realistic and entrancing story is culturally rich and visually moving. The acting is very good. The stage settings help every part of the movie. There are suggestive themes but not graphic. It is a good film overall. The movie ends on a high note.  Film Poster Courtesy of Google Images Storyline  Two Afghanistan boys are best of friends and do everything together.
