Onlinewsma Absolutely Brilliant!

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Isbel A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

lhunt-9 This is an outstanding war film. As others have commented, it examines the Afghanistan conflict in a particularly Canadian way --- which means that each character has a distinct point of view and a unique place in the world. The film makes clear not only that each understands his/her situation differently, but also that each viewpoint merits the full weight of our attention and consideration. Both the nobility of sacrifice and the utter senselessness of war are captured. There have been many well-made recent films about our current conflict with the Islamic world. This is certainly one of the best of them.

Adriel Zalez Note: I have seen this movie for "Xbox's Free Movie Weekend" that took place on the weekend of the August 5th. So I did not pay for this movie nor I did not pay to see this movie.The movie is "R" of course; there is gore, chopped off heads, body parts flying off, etc. It's your typical Army movie gore that makes you say, "Dammmmnnn." Hyena Road doesn't really have that many intense moments like with most Army related movies nowadays, you get a few, one or two major fights and that's about it. The acting is average, the plot was decent, the twist (can be expected) and the dialogue between characters could have been better. In some parts of the movie it was/it can be predictable, but I just wished it ended differently (but you can't change "inspired by true events" history).On the Xbox app (where I watched it), there aren't any subtitles for when the people are talking. This more or less takes you out of the movie moment and confuses you at times when these characters talk. Maybe there are subtitles on different movie outlets, but I didn't see any on the Xbox app.Hyena Road is nothing horrible, but it's an average war movie that you "don't need to see," but if you do see it don't expect too much.

bradhayes-54991 I figured going into the movie, once I saw that it was a Canadian flick, that the typical cynical movie expectation would be the outcome. I figured I would end up turning it off once I saw the typical low budget, bad acting, political correctness that seems to be Canadian cinema. NOT A CHANCE! This movie was fantastic! The actors did a terrific job. The whole Hyena Road deal was a little thin but it made it up in other areas like the complexities of middle eastern culture, history and honour. It showed the Canadian forces as true professionals that they are. The narrators voice seemed a bit out of place but most of the information provided gave perspective and background and the narrations were infrequent. Afghanistan is certainly not a place for the faint of heart and this movie showed why. This showed as a big budget movie. I have already recommended this movie to several colleagues and friends.WELL DONE Mr. Gross!

Max Er This movie is great it feels so real and has been filmed really-really well to make it feel like it for the entire 2 hours. I guess the bad rating for the movie is based on too much military talk and not enough shooting and blasting everything like those boring Hollywood movies with the same endings. This movie is unexpected and is truly great. Would watch this any day over some random Hollywood movie which are all boring and easy to predict what happens and most importantly who survives in the end. So would you rather watch boring movies that are far away from reality or enjoy the real war and dive into this film for 2 hours of awesome experience.
