Director Marc Forster's exceedingly respectful adaptation of Khaled Hosseini's international best seller ''The Kite Runner'' has both a subtle, captivating naturalism and some convenient plot turns that are difficult to overcome.

Screenwriter David Benioff (''The 25th Hour'') remained largely faithful to Hosseini's story about the friendship between two boys in Afghanistan just before the 1979 Soviet invasion, and the way one's betrayal of the other haunts him for decades to come.

When Forster focuses on the kids, wealthy Amir (Zekiria Ebrahimi) and the family servant's feisty son...
