My comments are mostly for people that already saw the film. I give it 4, balancing the acting (8) and the credibility of the arguments of the three guys (1). Think: if it was a fiction film, would you believe that these boys (or men) were so stupid to go to the middle of a war just "on vacation" and end up in a Taliban center because the bus driver for no reason took then to there? If it was a fictional movie you would say that the plot id awful, for sure. ...And they expect for us to believe this in a documentary film?
When they take the bus to go back to Pakistan, the bus actually carried them to a Taliban resistance center, with taliban soldiers so called terrorists, fighting against the coalition. Of course the Taliban wouldn't receive people with them unless they were sure they were on their side, they wouldn't receive four British civilian even when they were Pakistanis's origin.
I want to be clear that I was against the war in Irak, and was not pro the war in Afghanistan. I am really against all this "petrol war", but I hate lies and I think this film is full of them.
In the very unlikely case that they were really innocents, someone must be very, very idiotic to go the the middle of a war and end up in an enemy district, so in that case they also deserve what happened to then for being so idiots. ... But I don't think it is the most probable case. If they were taliban 's followers and became taliban soldiers, that's OK, it was a war, and they were captured. They must be thankful that they are still alive. And now they still fight this war, now with this film. It is biased and anti-American propaganda. I'm not saying that what everything Americans did there was all right, far from that, but please... the viewer must not be so innocent to believe the story told from a biased sight.
What I rescue from this film is that it lets you see how the people live in those countries. One funny thing is when the Americans torture the prisoners with heavy metal songs, ha ha, I have a friend who does the same thing!!
