SM Cinema CinExclusive Presents Special Forces

Special Forces is an action-packed movie flick set across one of the world’s most breathtaking yet hostile landscapes. It chronicles the adventures of a journalist and commando officers as they fight to escape the enemy hounding them and survive in the savage landscape of Afghanistan.   

Elsa Casanova is a strong and independent war correspondent who is willing to risk everything, including her life, to get her story.  She was taken hostage by the Taliban warlord and is now facing execution. The news reaches government officials and a Special Forces unit is assigned to rescue her.  However, the team’s radio equipment is destroyed during the conflict, leaving Elsa and the elite commando force stranded. Now, the enemy is hot of their trail. Their only hope of escape is to trek across the rough mountain terrain for survival.  The dangers that Elsa and his rescuers face create a link that inextricably binds them together.

The film is the brainchild of the French director Stéphane Rybojad. It stars Diane Kruger, the German actress and former fashion model who is best known for playing Helen in the movie Troy. She played Dr. Abigail Chase in National Treasure and its sequel. She took the role of Bridget von Hammersmark in Inglorourious Basterds. She’s Ana in Mr. Nobody and Gina in Unknown. In Special Forces, she plays Elsa Casanova. Djimon Hounsou stars as Kovax, the leader of the elite Special Forces unit. Hounsou is a Beninese actor and model who first gained acting attention in Steven Spielberg's Amistad for which he received a Golden Globe nomination. He also appeared in the historical epic Gladiator, The Four Feathers, Biker Boyz, and Lara Croft: Tomb Raider -- The Cradle of Life. Hounsou received his first Oscar nomination in 2003 for his acclaimed supporting role in Jim Sheridan's In America.  He also appeared in the 2006 film Blood Diamond, starring Leonardo DiCaprio.  Benoît Magimel whose films include The Piano Teacher, Duplicity and Sky Fighters also stars in this film.
