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.

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.

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 ???".

Worth seeing!

This is not a James Bond film! The only connection with the Bond series is the presence of Timothy Dalton in the main role, Jack Carver being his character here. Timothy Dalton, together with Sean Connery, are in my humble opinion the best actors who gave life to the famous secret agent 007. Along with Timothy Dalton, you will see the acting performances of some exceptional actors such as Omar Sharif, Jürgen Prochnow, Kabir Bedi, Philippe Leroy, Paul Freeman, Nigel Havers and, in the leading female role, Marg Helgenberger. It is the best film in which I have seen Kabir "Sandokan" Bedi. Omar Sharif and Jürgen Prochnow also play two special roles. So, if you want to see a good action movie, I guarantee it's not a waste of time. The film is very good, absolutely worth seeing.

A great film - reminded me of Dalton as Bond.

I always liked Dalton and still think he was much better as Bond than Brosnan. So I was very pleased when I first watched "Lie Down with Lions" - it reminded of Dalton as 007. It's not a typical action movie, it's plot is much more dramatic and full of many interesting characters played by such great actors as Nigel Havers, Omar Shariff and Jurgen Prochnov. It's more "down to Earth", especially for people like me who live in the centre of Europe or in Far East. Locations are just beautiful and it's true that sometimes they may remind of "The Living Daylights". I would recommend that film not only for men but also for women, I'm sure you won't be disappointed. My grade is 9/10 (only because it's not a cinema movie - and it's a pity).

Citazioni
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.
