everything you have heard about this movie is true.
... View MoreExcellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
... View MoreIt's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
... View MoreI enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
... View MoreI agree there were many (IMHO) unfair reviews of this movie. I agree this one wasn't destined for Oscars, but it was better than many of the reviews it got here.What I saw was a look at a couple guys trying out for the SAS. The selection process was not an in-depth look at how recruiting and training for this elite regiment is carried out, but I don't think that is the effect being sought after. Notes were given as the number of cadets was whittled down, and after the cut was made, a brief look at a single mission was given. I did think the ending left a LOT to be desired! There were holes left, questions unanswered, and a general feeling of WTF?? left in my mind, which reduces my overall number of stars. However, this was an interesting and otherwise reasonably well-done movie and I was not left with the feeling of 'there's 90 minutes of my life I'll never get back'. If you're expecting Rambo, or Full Metal Jacket, keep looking, this isn't it... but it also is no Lair of the White Worm (my go-to total turkey movie I use to compare a complete unpolished turd). It is worthy of a look, although probably not an addition to a DVD collection.
... View MoreQuestion: Is there any way to watch a movie these days without some kind of Jewish propaganda splattered all over it? Movie Quote: "Krav Magra is the single best unarmed combat fighting technique in the history of the world ... and that's what we (I..e. SAS) use"LOL ... or some-such nonsense. Whatever the exact quote, I think puked in my mouth a little. Apparently, the finely tuned Israeli fighting art of "Flailing While Running Away" is now the SAS' exclusive fighting system. It's like the entire movie industry's 'needle' is permanently stuck on the almost cartoonish fiction of "The Inglorious Bastards" ... FOREVER.Anyway, that laughable quote (above) ... immediately followed the equally laughable scene ... during a SAS training session ... where a 110 lbs scrawny-looking woman (an female SAS instructor? OKaaay then)... punched senseless ... a 245 lbs (presumably) well-trained and thickly muscled young man ... and then submits him ... in under 15 seconds flat. It is exactly at this point in the movie, as I was smoking my Cuban cigar ... and surfing the Heckler & Koch website ... when I realized what kind of ride I'm in for (if I dared finish this farce on the British SAS).Well, I dared ... And I was right. Suffice to say it was all downhill from there on. Ronnie Thompson should seriously consider a new vocation.
... View MoreVery low budget film.If you liked ultimate force then you will probably like this too. As soon as i seen Alex Reid in the story line i instantly thought ultimate force.I initially thought it was going to be a documentary type of film. How wrong. It only contains a few facts about the SAS and its selection. This film could have been a lot better. It should have been a lot more factual that it actually appears.Never mind. Hopefully there won't be a 2nd making of it. However if there is then hopefully they spend a little more money.
... View MoreThe storyline does not even make sense somehow he was a chef before but then it shows flashbacks of him throwing himself in a parachute obviously in battle.Most of the movie is just watching the main characters trained and trained it gets pretty repetitive.The resolution is pretty bad even some indie movies have better resolution than this.They should at least made a ceremonial for his diseased friend but instead they have more facts at the end.Its up to you if you want to watch this movie ,I know this sounds critical. But at the end of the movie you get this feeling of disappointment that leaves you with many questions about develop ideas during the movie that did not get resolved at the end.
