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!
