Year of Release: 2007Country of Origin: USA
Director: Marc Forster
Cast: Khalid Abdalla, Atossa Leoni, Shaun Toub
Plot oultine: After spending years in California, Amir returns to his homeland in Afghanistan to help his old friend Hassan, whose son is in trouble (IMDb).
Based on Khaled Hosseini's debut novel and national bestseller of the same title, the story is very touching and binds us all to a common humanity. But I found the entire movie rather melodramatic and melancholic, the musical scores during Amir's return to Afghanistan are also rather distracting. Despite all these, I do like the performance of Zekeria Ebrahimi who plays the part of young Amir and especially Ahmad Khan Mahmoodzada who plays the role of young Hassan. They're great!
My judgement: ** out of 4 stars
