"This film changed my life. I wouldn’t have known it existed if I hadn’t gone to see a terrible Don Johnson movie, A Boy and His Dog, in a double bill with my brother. We’d see anything in Oklahoma City to pass the time, and we were the only kids in the theatre, smoking a joint. Then the second film came on. I hadn’t known this period of Pink Floyd. It opened up a new world of music to me. I was 16, wanting to be a rock star, and they actually talked about how they made their songs. I went out and bought a Stratocaster like Dave Gilmour’s soon after. I still can’t believe I had the luck to see it."

"An American man walks across Afghanistan by himself, equipped with nothing but a rucksack, a walking stick and an enormous Kurdish dog. Who hasn’t dreamed of setting off into the unknown? Of risking certain danger to explore the other side of the earth, both geographically and metaphorically? Few people have the guts to trek unarmed through hostile, war-torn foreign territory, relying upon the aid of often isolated, tribal communities, but the rewards of seeing a landscape from that personal and vulnerable perspective are manifold. It heartens the soul to believe that we can depend upon one another as human beings, that we can subsist upon such accessible and un-rarified values as family, hospitality and respect. Be prepared to cry, though."

It's the second Patrick McLanahan book and this time brings in a B2 bomber but I felt this one didn't have the edge of the seat action like Flight of the Old Dog, there were moments where it was building but it seemed never to keep going and the ending was a bit of a let down, back of the book sets it up to be big but I wasn't too impressed, I actually think what they were trying to stop would of been more exciting to let happen! (Read it and you'll see). Also weirdly I started routing for the Chinese to win by the end and as this is written by an American and focused on US supremecy I found that strange

There were all sorts of things thrown into this movie that I wasn't expecting. Some over the top and some real life and tricky things. But all of them came together well and made a surprisingly enjoyable film.

No matter who you are, I'm sure there's something in there that you'll be able to identify with. A dog that won't listen to you. Trying to train your body to do something it really doesn't want to do. Going on a date with a moron.

I cried at it. Of course I did. But it was a lovely film. I don't know how it would do on second viewing now that I know what happens, but I wouldn't mind watching again to find out.
