Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Poor script, poor acting. Jamie Dornans acting is laughable. Don't know what people see in him. Only good acting is done by Jason o'mara as far as I'm concerned.

This was an unexpected thrilling movie absolutely terrific true story well acted scripted directed. 10 out of 10 well done Ireland.

So he can act, may be one of the things some people might say after watching this. But it would unfair judging someone just by one movie they did (I have only seen the first 50 shades movie so far). So in company of some really good actors and in battle portraying a real incident/event from the past, he succeeds to convey more emotion than in a movie that is supposed to be about emotions/feelings.But let's stay with this, and its politics. Sometimes you find yourself being a pawn for someone else and not really being able to go anywhere else. So only thing/way to go is forward. And that's what this movie is about (and courage), amidst one of the worst situations you can find yourself imprisoned in. Since this is war, there is violence of course, and there will be almost unbelievable situations. But this actually happened (more or less), which makes it even more powerful

Movie was okay but I can't help but think the action was largely over dramatized considering not a single man was lost. However that is not the reason I am rating it so low. Call me a stick up the ass but I like attention to detail and realism and honestly this siege made me cringe over and over again. Tactics on the part of the Frenchman were horrendous. There was a nearby hill that was never tactically used and meanwhile they just kept running in with numbers from the same side every time. (and I thought he was supposed to be a brilliant contractor or something) They also never used their artillery, easily could have spent the whole time just landing bombs on them until they surrender which is probably what really happened. Also, every time I had to watch the sniper reload a bullet in the chamber he made me cringe. (if you don't know why then don't worry about it.)Lastly there were a few other funky scenes like that that stood out to me but one I remember in particular is when the enemy forces came with a mounted heavy machine gun at one point there was a guy holding it by its barrel as they were shooting. I still have scars from when I grabbed a hot barrel as a child.
