Viewers generally praise '13 Days, 13 Nights: In the Hell of Kabul' for its intense and gripping portrayal of the evacuation from Kabul, highlighting the strong performances, particularly by Roschdy Zem. The film's tension and emotional depth resonate well, though some find it leans too heavily into heroics and lacks depth in its portrayal of the Taliban and other characters. Despite these criticisms, the film's realistic depiction of a harrowing historical event and its humanistic approach are widely appreciated.

👍 Strong performances and gripping tension

👎 May oversimplify complex characters

Synopsis

Kabul, August 15, 2021. US troops are preparing to withdraw from Afghanistan, while the Taliban are marching on the capital to seize power. Amid the chaos, Commander Mohamed Bida and his men are in charge of security at the French embassy, the last Western mission to remain open. Trapped along with 500 people, left to their own devices, the team must reach the airport at all costs. A perilous mission with no guarantee of success to flee the hell of Kabul and rescue what remains of humanity.

Le film réussit à retranscrire l'angoissante course contre la montre lors de l'évacuation de Kaboul par l'armée française en août 2021. Et le dilemme : qui faut-il sauver en priorité, à qui faire confiance, doit-on toujours obéir aux ordres... Roschdy Zem incarne le commandant Mohamed Bida avec authenticité et émotion contrôlée. Aussi bien que la série Kaboul.
