Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Great movie. Shaan is an amazing actor. Very impressive film as compared to other Pakistani movies. Please make a PC game if possible please. it was a first movie of hamza ali abbasi and he did superb job in it specially when he is singing national anthem of Pakistan. Great job Bilal keep going dude

I agree with most reviewers here that this is an awesome film coming out of Pakistan. The production values are very, very high, and the story is relevant, and well executed. Furthermore, this presents a well-rounded, authentic view of Pakistan, and the war on terror as it is fought there. Naturally, it's not perfect. There are plot holes the size of grapefruits, and no one except Shaan can act to save their lives. Shan, on the other hand, has established himself as a true actor. His range of emotions are varied, and he can deliver all types of performances. That being said, I will be critical. I'll tell you why. If a movie of this quality can be made in Pakistan, then it should be expected that the next one would be better. We obviously have the talent as well as the technology. The film, like I said, was great. The only gripe I have is with the fight sequences. The hand-to-hand combat sequence near the end was terrible. But it's a start.Let's make the next one better!

I went to watch this movie with high hopes but it was far less than my expectations. The action sequences were brilliant and new to Pakistani Cinema but that was it. There was not much depth in the story. Local sentiments expressed in a foreign language felt like we were watching a dubbed movie. The subject of terrorism was explored in a lopsided manner. Instead of exploring the hardliner Islamists mindset, the story writer went for the easy and safe target i.e. India. I don't understand why this movie was made in English as there is nothing in it for foreign audience. The dialogs would have been more impressive if written in Urdu which was another drawback of the movie.

Let me start by saying this why do people keep bringing this up 'best Pakistani film' etc? Waar puts many Hollywood films to shame specially the junk that has been produced over there in recent times. How on earth can someone in the right state of mind can even begin to compare this masterpiece to other mega-productions that massively fail to impress & lack the essence of film making.Don't get me wrong there are obviously some really good Hollywood productions that I can watch over & over again & waar goes right up there in my top 10 best movies of all time list, which is quite a statement. I have seen them all from sin city to sexy beast, from 300 to shawshank redemption as well as the original old boy. This stunner & absolutely quality production deserves a place right up there with the well deserving titles.Well done to all that were involved in the making of this masterpiece, incredible & breath-taking film making at its best! Learn from it this is how movies are made. A well deserving 10/10!! If you haven't seen this masterpiece yet do yourself a favour stop what you are doing & watch it, even if you have to watch it on a DVD, Enjoy!
