I saw Kabul Express a few days back . And the one thing that has still stayed with me is the landscape . The deserted feel .... one that comes in the wake of much destruction, was felt in every shot .
Slow paced , the movie lacks the dramatic effec ...making you feel that you are listening to a rather rambling travel account . No clear stand is taken . Most of it feels like the personal impressions of the characters .
I liked the contrast between Suhel Khan ( John Abrahm ) and Jessica Beckham (Linda Arsenio ) . One shows the idealism of a new comer to a profession and the other the cynicism that comes from experience . And the good thing was that none of the characters were deeply analysed .... just hints were given as to what their nature is like .
Some of the scenes during the journey seemed a bit contrived .But the humour was nice . Ending was extremely predictable . Yet there is something about the movie .....definitely worth a watch ........

Hey there!
I saw Kabul Express too - felt it was more like a documentary with a story thrown into it somewhere. You are right - the bleak landscape does stick into your brain, doesn't it?
Arshad Warsi seemed to eat up everyone else's role. All my sympathies to the poor pakistani taliban guy who dies at the hands of his own army...reality bites!
Overall, the movie is good for one watch - the music is a sounder investment though!
HaHa- keep on writing...
