The casting was announced in June 2020 while the film was still in the early stages of development. Gerard Butler will play the leading role of Tom Harris, an undercover CIA agent. With movies like 300, Geostorm, and the Has Fallen trilogy, the Scottish-born actor has established himself as a go-to performer for these kinds of action roles.

The Gilded Age': No One is More Disappointed About Susan Blane's and Larry Russell’s Break Up Than Production Designer Bob Shaw As the pair make their way across the dangerous territory, they’re pursued by numerous Afghan forces, as well as Kahil (Ali Fazal, Death on the Nile, Victoria & Abdul), a soulful, motorcycle-driving assassin working for a bad guy who says about Harris, “We’ll sell him on the open market.” The burnt-out Kahil wants to make this his last job before getting a transfer to somewhere like London or Paris. Since he has the looks of a male model who once fronted a boy band, it seems like a reasonable desire.

Cast: Gerard Butler, Navid Negahban, Elnaaz Norouzi, Ali Fazal, Travis Fimmel, Bahador Foladi, Nina Toussaint-White, Vassilis Koukalani, Mark Arnold, Corey Johnson, Ravi Aujla, Ray Haratian, Tom Rhys Harries Director Ric Roman Waugh’s Kandahar marks the second time in as many months that a film’s heart comes from a bond between an operative and his field translator (the other is Guy Ritchie’s the Covenant). Unsurprisingly, considering that Kandahar comes from the filmmaker behind Angel Has Fallen and Greenland, once again collaborating with Gerard Butler in the lead role, this version is more action-oriented but not without a thoughtful if sometimes messy emotional buildup attempting to explore the different motives of its various characters, nationalities, and militias. Both movies have taken two months to go from theaters to DVD and Blu-ray. With that in mind, we’re looking at Kandahar to come to DVD and Blu-ray around Tuesday, July 25. a b Wiseman, Andreas (September 21, 2022).

As of now, the only way to watch Kandahar is to head out to a movie theater when it releases on Friday, May 26. You can find local shows on Fandango, IMAX, Regal, AMC Theatres, Cinemark, Cineplex, Landmark Theatres, Alamo Drafthouse and Harkins Theatres. Tom Harris is a freelance undercover operative working for the CIA to insert malware into a secret Iranian nuclear research facility. Tom's cover is a field technician for a Swiss communications contractor. His mission is successful, and the malware causes the facility to self destruct, preventing the Iranians from acquiring more nuclear bombs. You know, there is an interesting subplot going on with Mo searching for his sister, who was a teacher abducted by the Taliban and hasn’t been heard from since. That is a mystery worth getting invested in, not whatever Kandahar is. Stories about the West at war with Brown people peaked with Kathryn Bigelow’s Zero Dark Thirty(Although I also enjoyed Nicolai Fuglsig’s 12 Strong). Maybe there is something about chronicling history based on actual events that hold something over these made-up western savior narratives that have nothing going for them except to be monotonous, xenophobic and a complete bore.

Open Road Films is releasing Kandahar on Friday, May 26, 2023, in theaters nationwide. The movie will release beside other much-awaited movies like The Machine, About My Father, and Disney’s The Little Mermaid. Where To Watch Kandahar: Butler, in the sort of role that he’s turned into a personal franchise, plays Tom Harris, a CIA operative who successfully manages such daunting assignments as taking out an Iranian nuclear facility. Well, not fully successfully, since his role in the operation is revealed in a leak by a Pentagon whistleblower and brought to public attention by a female journalist (Elenaaz Noruouzi), who is promptly arrested by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard. Her story is one of several subplots in the film that are potentially interesting but frustratingly undeveloped.
