Product description

Product Description

Hyena Road is a taut war action film about Canadian troops in Afghanistan as seen through the eyes of three very different men: A sniper who has never allowed himself to think of his targets as human and becomes implicated in the life of one; an intelligence officer who has never contemplated killing and becomes the engine of a plot to kill; and a legendary Mujahideen warrior who had put war behind him and is now the center of the battle zone. All stand at the intersection of a murky world of modern warfare and fluid morality.

Great movie

Good product. Played well on my DVD/Blue Ray player.

Great story showing the Canadian Forces in Afghanistan. Very well done movie telling how things were "on the ground" for Canadian soldiers and also interacting with local people.

Well worth watching

The cast and crew really succeeded in portraying the complexities of operating in the Afghanistan theatre of operations. The stories were well thought out and the performances were quite good with, in my opinion, the banter amongst the soldiers being very accurate in tone and intent. The recreation of the Afghan villages and Canadian forward operating bases was excellent as was the addition of in-theatre filmed scenes. Regardless of what one's view of the war in Afghanistan is or was, this is a movie worth viewing.

are literally caught in the crossfire of another in a series of invading armies who over the centuries have each thought they know what's best for them

Reviewed in Canada on October 27, 2017

A fair two-sided account about the west's Afghanistan "punishment exercise" after 9/11. It shows how the ancient Pashtun tribal peoples, whom the Taliban extremists indoctrinated, are literally caught in the crossfire of another in a series of invading armies who over the centuries have each thought they know what's best for them, or have simply expected them to get out of the way and surrender like so many other of their victims. The strength of this film is its ability to show that there is no black and white, nor absolute right or wrong sides that can be easily discerned. It's about time we started to tell war stories from such a mature perspective, and it is a credit to the screenwriter for having done so.

Afghanistan Conflict

Reviewed in Canada on August 3, 2016

Verified Purchase

An incredible movie- very compelling on all fronts... acting is outstanding... war in all its sordidness... it is riveting- reveals the complex relationship and tension in Afghanistan. It could so easily be a corny account, but it managed to find a balance of the human, psychological, social and political dynamics... tough subject and hard to portray honestly and properly.

Great movie, realistic and not jingoistic.

Reviewed in Canada on April 19, 2016

As an ex-Canadian soldier who did NOT serve in Afghanistan, it gave me a taste of what my brothers and sisters endured. I found it to be a very emotional experience, and recommend the movie. It is a refreshing alternative to the flag-waving, black-and-white patriotism of many Hollywood war movies.

Really good movie, especially from our point of view north of the 49TH. The only thing I could say bad about it was Gross's acting itself! The other actors were A1. All in all it was a very evocative story. Great stuff Paul but you're not in a Mountie uniform anymore; understood??

It was like watching a documentary that a movie

It was like watching a documentary that a movie. A true Canadian movie done the Canadian way. I was in the army reserves and never was able to do tours, this is the closest that I could ever get. In Canada reservist to do tours/training have to leave their jobs, no American jobs on hold.

Great watch and educational about modern warfare.

Gripping account of what modern combat is like, as well as the subtle difficulties of dealing with cultures so different from the West. Hard decisions. Moral dilemmas. Like you were seeing it happening. Well done Paul Gross and the many contributors to this film.
However, unfortunately, my copy of the film was badly scratched, stopping the film on occasions. Condition was not acceptable. I have not received a DVD in such a condition before.

I'm glad I'm too old to serve now.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 18, 2016

A Canadian production with quite a good storyline. Produced on an almost drama documentary basis with plenty of realistic visual effects. I would compare it with Kajaki although the latter is based on an actual incident, Hyena Road is based on, to quote, 'stories from real soldiers'. Well put together in its editing and certainly worth watching.

Although a 15 certificate the language is quite strong throughout - but then what do we expect from soldiers in a battle?
