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.

Liz Braun Toronto Sun Kilo Two Bravo is one of the most intense anti-war films extant. Rated: 4/5 Nov 13, 2015 Full Review Brad Wheeler Globe and Mail 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. Rated: 3.5/4 Nov 13, 2015 Full Review Linda Barnard Toronto Star An intimate, unforgettable examination of war. Rated: 3/4 Nov 12, 2015 Full Review James Marsh South China Morning Post 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. Rated: 4/5 Aug 22, 2016 Full Review Zach Hollwedel Under the Radar An arguably anti-war depiction of true events, yet one that expertly eschews the mawkish or sanctimonious didacticism such films frequently espouse. Rated: 6.5/10 Dec 9, 2015 Full Review Todd Jorgenson Cinemalogue ... more focused on character-driven moments than elaborate battlefield conflicts, yet it ratchets up the tension effectively.

mike p not much movie 'action' but absolutely gut wrenching film Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/22/25 Full Review Optimus P 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. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/27/25 Full Review Joseph L Tense and Relentless retelling of events during the war in Afghanistan. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/03/25 Full Review Louis-Philippe L 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. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/03/25 Full Review Dan 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. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/12/24 Full Review Gareth v A tense and relentless movie based on a true incident in Afghanistan. One of the best movies made about the war in Afghanistan. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews
