Just finished watching it...I personally thought it was fantastic, yeah OK the whole "SAS" part of the movie was a bit OTT but come on: IT'S A MOVIE!
It had brilliant cinematography, and some great actors ( ralph feines's cameo was inspired imho ( to the point where I want to see him now in his own spin off movie) )
IMHO a fantastic 8/10 movie, brilliantly filmed and acted, and it was great to see a movie based on a modern day conflict ( when will we see the Falklands movie? ), that didn't really have an idealistic or good guy ending. It almost felt like a Vietnam movie just maybe 5years early...
@bananaman I've never served for her majesty's armed forces so I can't realy comment but, can you just elaborate on the scene you're talking about? ( was it the scene with the SAS by any chance? )
Just for the record : I've got massive respect for all the troops out there fighting at the moment ( even if I don't agree with what they are doing ), this kind of movie can only be a good thing in highlighting the issues that they s have to deal with on a daily basis.
I still loved the movie, if you've not seen it just give it a chance.... 8/10 ( possibly one of the best war movies i've seen in the last 10 years! )
