The Kite Runner (2007)

Should I see it?
Yes.

Director Mark Forster (Finding Neverland) creates a memorable and moving story about two Afghan friends. The film spans a good portion of their lives from childhood to adulthood when one of the friends returns home to help save other's son. The film is a little uneven and the acting is stilted at times but the overall piece packs a punch and overwhelms the flaws. This should go onto your must see list immediately.
