Nice movie, but i found the landscape strangely unmongolian, so: no, according to IMDB, shot nowhere near Mongolia. But thats not the only cliché. So, somwhat deceived, and disappointed...
But the longer the story evolves, the heavier the clichés go, Americans and how they seem to behave but do not do, the mongolians, the indians... the father, the relationship... it suddenly all turns uncredible. Might have been better... if the went actualy to Mongolia to produce this movie...
