Review of Bravo Two Zero

Bravo Two Zero (1999 TV Movie)
7/10
a real war movie - war as its made now
31 January 2003
i confess up front that i watched this movie ONLY cause Sean Bean is in it. And my opinion is probably biased because of this, but i enjoyed the movie very much (although i had to watch it a couple times in order to understand the accents!). Basically its a buddy movie told by the main character, Andy McNab, it is a adaptation of his memoir about this incident. A buddy movie, because the focus is on the interrelationship of the guys in the unit. It's truly a study of what can go wrong in war- which is everything... In this, it contrasted sharply with the more popular and glossy 3 KINGS. The production quality of the movie was a little lower than usual, probably due to being a made for tv movie, but emminently watchable. Be prepared for torture and the degradation of war though - not for the seriously squeamish.
