Best movie of this year hands down!

Very well executed

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

I didn't like this movie at all. I watch it from beginning to end, several time's I wanted to give up and stop watching, but I forced myself to keep watching on the belief that it would get better... I was wrong.I got nothing, but respect for the SAS and any other special forces group.But this movie is just awful, During the first combat, several of the SAS group should have been killed or at lest by the explosion by the BMP main cannon. The explosions were right at the feet or a few inches off and yet the soldiers some how survived.Then there's the weapon flash and fire rate inconsistency, which were just that they were completely off a light or even heavy machine gun doesn't fire 3 round bursts.And during the whole part when Andy Mcnab is capture and is being interrogated his acting was just plain horrible and annoying. The best part of this movie was the ending.

Firstly to anyone who thinks they know so much about this story, and think lightly of these men.I would just like to say that this film and story is under rated, and surrounded by people judging these soldiers even though they themselves have never lifted an air gun or a paint-ball gun, let alone fought or served for their country.The SAS, and the armed forces is full of people willing to put their life on the line. To leave their warm beds and spend hours, days, or weeks in uncomfortable terrain, so stop your whinging!Because without them you would be using that fat arse of yours to run away like the phucking cowards you probably are.Either way i liked this film.I mean for all the military jargon and slang you may have to watch it a few more times, and get someone in the know to translate, but it is a good film.Not that much money was spent on it, and the special effects are limited, but it is a good portrayal of their life in Hereford, England, where the SAS is based, to Iraq. There is also some funny moments to lighten the mood.If you really want to get to grips with the story, read the book "Bravo Two Zero".It has much more detail, especially about the gruesome torture they were put through.Other books include:"The One That Got Away", by Chris Ryan. "Soldier Five", By Mike Coburn and "The Real Bravo Two Zero", by Michael asher.Each give their own opinion, so its hard to tell who is telling the truth.Either way the film is good, and some people might have to watch it more than once, but it is enjoyable.You laugh and maybe cry and anything else as you follow them.Sean Bean plays the part well, as do the supporting cast of unknown and small time actors. One of those actors has since done well.That actor is Rick Warden, who plays Tony. He has since been in "Band of Brothers", and the TV series "Rome", showing on BBC one.Either way watch this film...it is good and a good watch.Recommended!

In 'Eye of the Storm' by Peter Ratcliffe DCM (who was the Regimental Sergeant Major of the SAS during the Bravo Two Zero incident), he explains how the CO and he thought that Bravo Two Zero team should've taken in a Land Rover, yet 'Andy McNab' and his team disagreed and decided to take in 150 pound packs on their back and trek it in.'McNab' felt that it was too easy to be spotted by aircraft if they were in a Land Rover rather than if they walked in because the terrain was rather flat. Ratcliffe and the CO believed that the Land Rover would give them a better means of escape... seems like they were right.McNab seems to have glorified himself in his book and in one section of the text it reads that Ratcliffe only briefly wished him good luck and safe trip.But for this one, you'll have to make up your mind for yourself...

This film about a British Spec. Ops officer and his men trapped in the middle east after a botched mission during the Gulf War was absolutely amazing. Based on the true story by Andy McNab, Sean Bean captured this essence of this role fantastically. The dreadful things they went through combined with the horrors they faced, accentuated by their incredible bravery made this true-to-life tale almost larger than life.I can say nothing bad about this movie!
