'Kandahar' Review: Gerard Butler Fights a Losing Battle Against Boredom

"Kandahar," starring Gerard Butler, is a textureless action thriller that fails to deliver entertainment. The film follows CIA agent Tom Harris (Butler) as he attempts to destroy a nuclear plant in Iran before his identity is revealed, and he is forced to flee to Afghanistan with a local translator. The movie attempts to touch on geopolitics and terrorism but falls short in character development and confusing plot twists. Butler's consistent machismo fails to add any depth to the film, resulting in a forgettable and unremarkable experience.
