I know it's Hollywood, I know all the ott that comes with that but up until the last 20mins this film was on a 10. Then the ridiculous 50 Taliban against 3 men gun fight comes out the bag . It got worse & worse...... Ahmed & John & lorry driver shoot loads of them, while also running away from them with their backs & bodies completely exposed, surprise surprise, not 1 bullet hits the hero's. Why not just have 1 vehicle of Taliban chasing them & making it realistic. A really good film spoiled because the end was just simply unbelievable........ I can overlook the perfect timing of the rescuers arriving bang on empty bullets. But all the rest was just plain ridiculous & impossible.

I started to go off the film at the first beating he took, I know it's a film but it was just poorly thought out, no way would those kids have carried on with that sign that far, they'd have just dumped it. His kick in only resulted in one big bruise on a shoulder, nobody would run up a back street alley on their own against a group of lads who had already demonstrated they were trouble. Then he gets chased by those 2 cops, he runs fast, no way would fat cop keep up, the stairs up to the metro alone would have put him way behind joker! Then his dad coming out the show with wife & child. Who killed them? It didn't make sense. They came out alone & walked up a dodgy alley, someone of that status would have his own chauffeur waiting at the stage door. Then the activists in the ambulance ramming joker in the police car, totally ridiculous how did they coordinate that? Then he's knocked unconscious & the Cops are left for dead, they pull joker out, I assume as some kind of mascot, then he miraculously comes back to life & starts dancing around, no cuts, broken limbs etc. Just plain ridiculous...... but by this time I already disliked the film. Fiction it is but it's got to have some kind of realism to it & on that it failed majorly!

In Batman, I loved Joker I'll stick to watching him in that because alone he is pants!
