Directed by Guy Ritchie and starring Jake Gyllenhaal, this action drama follows a US Army Master Sergeant, John Kinley (Jake), who takes the help of Ahmed (Dar Salim), an Afghan interpreter, to fight against the Taliban. The film’s production brought Kawa Mawlayee, who is the first Afghan-American in U.S. Special Forces, to help train the actors. This increased the film’s authenticity and made it critically acclaimed.
