Long before the headlines of today.

So a film 25 years ago about internecine and externally abetted intrigue in Nagorno-Karabakh, between Armenia and Azerbaijan, which has certainly been in the news recently.

With a love triangle plus baby worked in.

The topic reminds me of the 1994 Before the Rain or the equally excellent 1998 Savior about the Balkans but short of those.

The ending seems implausible.

Very good movie... and even featuring Timothy Dalton !

Firstly, I'm a huge James Bond fan. Therefore, I'd die for an action movie with Bond star, and especially Timothy Dalton. But not only that makes this film very good - it has good story, very good play, great actors (Timothy Dalton ! Omar Shariff !), and a strong production - yes, there could be good moves even with that budget ! And, sometimes filming locations will play deja-vu with you - "hey, isn't it a Living Daylights ???".

From the Book

Just read the Book: Lie Down with Lions written by Ken Follett. So this is the movie. Now I have to find it somewhere.

From other reviews it doesn't seem to follow the book as closely which outlines a lot of the Russian war with Afghanistan. But there is certainly enough plot, action, history, romance, deceit, and intrigue to keep you interested. Descriptions of the Afghan countryside, people, tribes and their inner conflict before Osama Ben Laden lets you know that not much has changed. Follett even mentions Bagram Air Force Base which we are using now.

A friend of mine is working in the South of Afghanistan and he says it is truly completely different from the Northern area where the book is set. The book really gives you a picture of what our troops are up against and why it is possibly a futile war, for a lot of reasons.

Timothy Dalton, shame on you...

I must admit, I started watching the movie only because I am from Luxembourg and I was curious about how and especially where they had done it. Well, after a few seconds I realized that it might not be what the description said. After an hour or so, I really wanted to stop watching it, but I could not turn off, still hoping that there might be one or two scenes coming that they shot in Luxembourg. So I really watched the entire movie, in which I found no Timothy Dalton to be called "Bond-like" and nobody else that could have saved the movie. So, whoever wrote the first comment, maybe he or she saw a different movie, as far as I am concerned, it was not worth the hours I spent watching it.

I was disappointed

They must have run out of dialogue with the ending. And why oh why cast an actor with a obvious thick British accent play an American. The only good thing about this flick was Tim Dalton.

Jack Carver: Democracy? Bullshit! You want to get your hands on this Safar Khan guy, whatever his name is, because he's today's best chance of securing cheap oil.
Williams: If you see it that clearly Jack, why won't you help? You'd have never joined, if you didn't share our ideals.
Jack Carver: Ideals, hm? Not killing people, manipulating, betraying... Yeah, real seductive. Specially when it's in a good cause. Yeah, if I ever had any ideals, I lost them real quick as soon as I discovered we didn't behave any better than everybody else. But this? You can take it and stick it right up your fundamental orifice... Sir.
