Review of Nobel

Nobel (2016)
9/10
Very worthwhile watch
22 July 2019
After Headhunters, I'll watch anything with Aksel Hennie in it. He conveys so much without even speaking. Nobel is a realistic look at the conflict in Afghanistan. I love the understated Norwegian way. No need to brag. Just get it done. We see the skill but also the humanity of a Spec Ops team serving tours in Afghanistan. The story line also follows the political efforts at making oil deals with the various factions of government and Taliban.In 2011, the Chinese eventually landed the deal. But exploration and mining will be fraught with difficulties in a country which, despite assistance from several countries to establish a government, today suffers a resurgence of terrorist factions.
