Critics Consensus

Kilo Two Bravo honors its fact-based story with an almost unbearably tense drama that captures the horrors -- and the human cost -- of modern warfare.

3.5/4

Mines detonate, the men hold on, the humour is the gallows' kind and the audience's gut is as tight as the tourniquets on the hurt soldiers' stumps.

4/5

By casting unknowns, Katis only ratchets up the tension more, leaving his audiences breathless throughout, unable to second guess who might make it out alive.

6.5/10

An arguably anti-war depiction of true events, yet one that expertly eschews the mawkish or sanctimonious didacticism such films frequently espouse.

... more focused on character-driven moments than elaborate battlefield conflicts, yet it ratchets up the tension effectively.

What makes Kajaki so unique is how it focuses on the psychological and emotional toll of war, rather than big action scenes. There are no massive battles or explosions—just a group of men trying to survive a nightmare situation. The tension is almost unbearable at times, and the way the film captures their courage and determination is both heartbreaking and inspiring.

Kajaki is heartwrenching and a movie that will not die in my mind when I close my pc to put it away. A true gem above any war movie I could think of. A MUST SEE.

After serving in Afghanistan myself this movie hits the British Army mentality and attitude 100%. If you don't like it for what it is then you've never been in that sort of situation.

A tense and relentless movie based on a true incident in Afghanistan. One of the best movies made about the war in Afghanistan.
