Born of War (2014)
4/10
THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING
25 September 2018
Warning: Spoilers
The film opens in 1988 in the Wakhan corridor, Afghanistan. Daphne (Lisa Kay) works for a war lord and gets into trouble and leaves. Mina (Sofia Black-D'Elia) is her moody daughter at Oxford. Before long bad guys invade their home (early plot spoiler) kill her parents and she ends up talking to MI6. Mina is now being moved around to avoid assassins and gets some self defense training. About an hour into the film, it takes an interesting twist, but the film dragged even during the good scenes. Sofia Black-D'Elia was not strong enough an actress to carry the lead role, one that wasn't well written to begin with.

This is an action film that feels like a drama.

Guide: F-bomb. No sex or nudity.
