At the time of its release in May 2023, Kandahar<\/em> grossed $4.8 million<\/a> in the United States and Canada and $4.6 million worldwide, receiving mixed reviews from critics at the time. While the general perception was mostly negative, recent reviews indicate a general appreciation of the film, holding an 86 percent on Popcornmeter. \u201cI always enjoy a good Gerard Butler movie (especially when he uses his Scottish accent instead of a generic American one) and was pleasantly surprised with how much this movie got me in the feels. They managed to show the human side of all the main characters, not just mindless violence against \u2018bad guys,\u2019\u201d writes one Rotten Tomatoes audience member.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis movie was fantastic. I felt it had a perfect balance of action and emotion. The acting was brilliant from all. The action scenes were well done and not too over the top,\u201d adds another. I have to admit, I\u2019ve been sleeping on Kandahar,<\/em> so I\u2019ll definitely be giving it a watch this weekend<\/a>.<\/p>\n
