The Kite Runner is an adaptation of Khaled Houseinni´s novel of the same name about an Afghan man haunted by his past. The film begins with a young Amir in Afghanistan at what would be the peak of his friendship with Hassan, his best friend. Amir betrays Hassanś trust by not defending him from a traumatizing experience.
The exposition of the movie felt more complicated than the rest of it as if the director got lazy after the first third of the story. The exuberant filmography and the solid character development was mostly replaced with fast paced dialogue. The child actor playing Amir had more emotional range in his performance than his adult counterpart; in fact most of the acting felt mechanical after the exposition of the plot.
This movie is watchable but it is in now way close to a masterpiece. It’s a nice flick to watch when you feel like watching a movie with a risky PG-13 rating.
