The unrelenting afghan terrain along with the insurgents made me feel helpless and in fear. The story moves beyond the gun fighting portraying everything ranging from internal struggles to the pressure that one has to endure in order to form connections.

Making Dreams Happen

Critical Reception: Shattered Fronts

Some reviewers have applauded Eva Green’s performance alongside the high octane action sequences that the film has to provide. However, the film has received heavy criticism for lacking emotional depth and ignoring, or attempting to ignore, the political conflict surrounding it. The blend of action fiction and the actual conflict has been described as disjointed by some, however true action movie lovers have claimed to enjoy the pace during the film.

Loyalty, Morality And Strength

Dirty Angels in essence is a film about loyalty. About being loyal towards your comrades, the innocents, and a mission that is greater than you. The film highlights the moral dilemmas arising due to warfare while portraying the often overlooked strength women have on the combat side of things.

One of the prominent parts of the film that can leave a mark on someone’s conscience is the portrayal ‘a side story’ of the war. Instead of shying away from the diplomatic consequences or the geopolitical mess of the war focusing on the innocent especially young girls caught are suffering, the film does not shy away.

Final Verdict: A Flawed but Brave Odysessy of Civil War

From the colorful prose of Samm Sorjain that threw a viscous kick and demonstrated the courage of the female ensemble cast, Dirty Angels is a worthy mention in this genre. Nevertheless, the slack between weaving the intense action of the script together with more sophisticated narratives has left some viewers unsatisfied with the film, arguing that a larger storyline was lost.

But for combat action lovers who enjoy robust casting, Dirty Angels is truly a great recognition for those who plunge into the battlefield risking everything they have.

An aside to Dirty Angels is that it is not just a war film, but an appreciation of broken friendships during the raging war and unsung heroes who fought for freedom.
