KANDAHAR (Released to Theaters USA 2023)

Ben Meyers’ Rating: 4.2|5.0 Starsìììì  Kandahar—really good war movie—has a terrific story that keeps the audience in suspense from beginning to end. More than worth watching, partially due to excellent casting choices and pairing of cast.  Watch for excellent stage settings that spare no realism for this movie.
