Plot Summary:Hyena Road is centered around the Canadian Forces deployed in Kandahar Province, Afghanistan. The Forces are encountering resistance from insurgents as they construct "Hyena Road" deep into Taliban territory. Warrant Officer Ryan Sanders, the leader of a rifle squad, finds himself under heavy fire while on sentry duty on the road. After their assigned evacuation vehicles are unable to reach their location, the squad moves on foot and reaches a Pashtun village. There are harbored by a tribal elder in his home, who also sends the Taliban away after they attack the village with rockets while searching for the Canadians. Sanders and his squad evacuate the area and return to base, where his secret lover Captain Jennifer Bowman, a communications officer, is also stationed. Meanwhile, Captain Pete Mitchell, an intelligence officer, carries out normal duties as the road is constructed, with little help from the Canadian's Afghani allies. When he hears Sanders' story of the Afghani elder, he decides to search for the man as a potential ally. He is helped in his search by a local asset assisting against the Taliban, called The Cleaner. While a search of the village yields nothing, Sanders' is able to remember that the elder has eyes of two different colors, with one being brown and the other blue. Mitchell is immediately able to identify the man as "the Ghost", formerly a fighter against the Soviets who gained his nickname for disappearing every-time he was injured, since his comrades would take him across the mountains into Pakistan, out of the range of the Soviets. Mitchell eventually arranges a meeting with the Ghost, but he refuses to accept money as a deal for his help, stating that he is now an old man and his days of combat are behind him. Meanwhile, the Canadians Afghani Allies, BDK and his son, Karim, are double-crossing them and receiving bribes from the Taliban. Sanders' squad sees this firsthand while observing the Ghost visit his son's home and granddaughters. The home was situated on land owned by BDK, while the crops had been destroyed by a Coalition airstrike some time in the past, leaving the Ghost's son with nothing to give BDK as his tithe for protection. Soon after the Ghost leaves, BDK arrives with Taliban protection and instructs the Ghost's son to pay up his money. When the son states that the entire opium crop was destroyed, BDK takes the Ghost's granddaughters and drive away. Sander's fireteam observe the whole seen and are desperate to prevent BDK from taking the children, but Mitchell repeatedly instructs them to hold their fire as they do not fully understand local politics. While everyone in the Canadian intelligence group knows their Afghani allies are crooked, there is no alternative in the province and they need all the help they can get. Meanwhile, Bowman reveals to Sanders that she is pregnant with his son, having conceived while both were on leave. Sanders rejoices in this, despite it being a serious problem regarding military rules prohibiting fraternization between officers and NCOs. The Canadians follow the Ghost, who has declared a personal war on BDK in revenge for the kidnapping of the girls. With assistance from his tribe, the Ghost abducts BDK's son Karim and beheads him when he is unable to reveal the location of the girls. Following this, the Ghost arranges a meeting with BDK in an isolated house, at the same time when BDK is supposed to be with the Canadians as they commemorate the opening of Hyena road. BDK agrees to exchange the girls for Karim. However, when BDK arrives with his bodyguards in a convoy, he demands to know the location of his son. The Ghost response by opening a sac he has brought and holding up Karim's severed head, at which point BDK pulls out his pistol and threatens to kill the Ghost. Sanders and his squad, who have been watching the whole action, fires on BDK as they have positive intent of violence. They do not, however, know that the Ghost desired to die having nothing else to live for, and only wanted to avenge his grandchildren who he assumed were lost forever.A firefight ensues after BDK is shot in the head by the Canadians, and the Canadians soon drive off BDK's bodyguards and begin moving out. As they move down to the house, dozens of Taliban insurgents arrive and they are trapped with the Ghost around the house. Although they fight off the insurgents, there is no support available and the Canadians are pinned down. After Travis, one of the members of Sanders' squad, is shot in the head by a sniper, the squad decides to relocate into the house under heavy enemy fire. As they move, they run into IEDs and the squad is incapacitated, with only Sander being able-bodied, along with the Ghost. Recognizing that there is no escape, Sanders calls in for artillery ordering to fire on his exact location to eliminate the insurgents, instructing them to fire for effect. After apologizing for the last time to Bowman, who heavily weeping tries to countermand the order, Sanders pulls off his helmet and tells the Ghost that he was going to be a father, something the Ghost appears to understand despite him not speaking English. Moments later, the artillery rounds hit the house obliterating Sanders, the Ghost, his squad, and many of the Taliban insurgents around them. The movie ends as Canadian troops rescue numerous Afghani children including the Ghost's granddaughters from one of BDK's safehouses, having acted on the Cleaner's information and other assets. Mitchell talks about how things will eventually get better, in the long term.
狙击、破伏、巷战、结尾大战,几处战斗场景都不错。半纪录半故事的混搭风格不伦不类,剧情编排太烂。
加拿大版“向我开炮”,话说空中支援不是很给力。
穆斯林的文化、经济落后,都阻挡不住他们继续迷信宗教直至变成极端分子。但当自身利益受到落后极端的威胁时,就会重新站队了。哪怕是曾经为民族利益奉献一生的“荣誉长老”,都难免会在受到原生民族落后行径的不公对待时,而选择反向怼人。文明未开化的所谓革命者,干的不过是欠钱卖孩子的人贩子事情。
加国暂时还驾驭不了这样的题材,火候不够,不过值得鼓励。
糊里糊涂
3.5星。江湖还是那个江湖,外人瞎掺和。
加拿大部队营救阿富汗小姐妹
一人装逼,全队团灭
一般
作为现代战争片战斗场面勉强及格,剧情太过平淡,无主旋律,所以实在是一般
被海报和预告片欺骗的不止我一个人吧
剪辑太乱,一会儿像战争片一会儿像文艺片一会儿像纪录片。所有妄图靠个人英雄主义给阿富汗战争洗白的电影最后都是弄巧成拙,美国人都没玩利索加拿大人就更没戏了。
非常好!很会讲故事。
为什么每次无人机都离得那么远?
歌功颂德,的确肉麻,不过男主死的爷们,战争片不要扭扭捏捏。(炮弹飞行九秒,能留什么遗言,也算壮烈)
加拿大只是看起来像美国而已 嘿嘿,比Yankee憨厚
不是军迷,看着感受很一般。一半过去愣是没有抓住你想要继续看下去的点,想要表达啥更是摸不着头脑,后半段讲述啥基本上靠自己把纷乱的剧情拼凑在一起。航拍还不错,巷战之类的真是没啥亮点。
充分表现了加拿大是个科技富强自由的国家,遵从交火协定可以无视高阶命令,真的是令人感叹这样的发达国家真的可以让个人自由发挥改变一切。发达国家就该如此美好。
这部片子真实地反映了加拿大特种部队在阿富汗都干了些什么,答案就是什么也没干!
