I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

A different way of telling a story

Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

ultimate force being about the SAS (special air service) follows the red troop regiment in different stories each episode or a story continued. Starring Ross Kemp who plays the role of Sgt Henry Garvie extremely well the 4 series are explicitly violent (as you would expect them to be) and are very well depicted with none of the explosion every second crap you find in Schwarzenegger blockbusters.All the weaponry are exact with no 'space age' laser gun nonsense. I feel ultimate force is one of the best TV series ever made and the cast and crew should come back together to make a few more series since I have seen just about every episode.Thanks for reading and,Who dares wins.

Giving this show a rating is quite difficult and I've found myself torn between where to place my vote. You see, Ultimate Force had 2 fantastic seasons, (1 & 2), and then rapidly went downhill. Based on Seasons 1 and 2 however I find it hard to give it too low of a rating - they were excellent. However, having seen so many reviews and comments complaining about accuracy it feels like it is necessary to point out this is not a documentary, it's fiction and with fiction comes a need to let the odd inaccuracy slide once in a while. That said of course, Chris Ryan didn't do the worst job in the first two seasons and while anyone can figure out a lot was held back, they tried to give it a decent feel of reality. Seasons 1 and 2 followed the original Red Troop cast through a nice variety of story lines, from bank sieges, surveillance and infiltration to kidnappings and hostages, even throwing in a little black bag along the way. You were shown the discipline and the characters actions had a large degree of precise accuracy to them. They shot to kill, they didn't miss and they were good at what they did. Unfortunately, this didn't carry on until the shows end. Season 3 began with the vast majority of the original cast being removed - Jamie Dow (Jamie Draven), Pete Twamley (Tony Curran) and Ricky Mann (Danny Sapani) were all killed off with their faces covered and poor voice doubles while Caroline Walshe (Alex Reid) was nothing but an empty desk and a mention of having been transferred and this marked the beginning of the end. The feeling of precision and high standards disappeared almost instantly. Rebecca Gallagher (Heather Peace) joined Red Troop as a trooper after going through selection which was hard enough to deal with - you can ask an audience to suspend a little disbelief but suddenly asking them to believe that a woman is let into the SAS is taking it a little too far. The season felt like the production company hoped that a woman who was happy to appear naked and often topless would boost ratings and if that failed they'd try to grab the extra viewers by tripling the explosions. Episodes turned into 10 minute long scenes of explosions and firefights where they appeared to just run into a room and start shooting, often just filling the area with ammo till someone died. Season 4 seemed to be so desperate to claw back some respect that the writers came up with more and more ridiculous plots, more terrible FX and an even longer list of 'witty one liners', finally culminating in the most ridiculous of all.While some may find it hard to stomach that SSgt Henno Garvie would shoot a Captain in cold blood (#2.6 Dead is Forever) and thus prove that there was nothing he would stop at to protect the men around him, it's even harder to believe that a recently nearly blinded sniper cuts the wire on the timer of a nuclear bomb with a bullet while his SSgt hangs upside down off of a crane holding onto said bomb 200 feet above the ground....with 1 second left on the clock. All with terrible green-screening and superman jokes. Let's also not forget the recycled casting from the same episode, (#4.5 Slow Bomb), when the American female terrorist is the same actress that played Marisol, a member of the global action group attempting to kill a European banker in Season 1, (#1.2 Just a Target). So while I have given Ultimate Force a hearty 8/10 this is based purely on Seasons 1 and 2 and still even now, years later, would recommend them to anyone. They had a great cast with fantastic chemistry, well developed characters, interesting plot-lines and for the ladies, yes Jamie Draven in SAS gear, (the latter alone would make me give it a 10/10 if I wasn't trying to be fair). If I were to rate Seasons 3 and 4 however, it would barely scrape a 4/10 - and that would probably only be for the few flickers of promise that flashed through once in a blue moon - they just unfortunately didn't last. A shame really, it started so well.

All the episodes are great. And the boxset is really good. Nice realistic action through out the series. Lots of action and explosions what more could you want. If you are a Ultimate force fan please check out my site :) www.ultimateforce.org. The series portrays the S.A.S quite well I think. Some bits might be a little corny but over all its pretty good. If you are into army films, war films, sas films or just action films, this box set is for you. I have series 1 and 2 on DVD and on the special features it shows Chris Ryan and a team of experts teaching the actors (Ross Kemp, Jamie Draven etc) how to fire real guns properly, commands when in a firefight and took them on actual hikes so they learn the experience first hand. www.ultimateforce.org

This is surely the greatest show that i have ever seen, and most likely; the greatest you will ever see too! WOW.. Ross Kemp should win like a Nobel prize for this one! Or like a Grammy or something... Hammer fist! In the episode i was lucky enough to see of this grade A show, Ross went into Columbia (which was clearly filmed in england) with his superbly macho buddies (even the girl) and shot loads of people for seemingly no reason, Great! Then he hit some guy in the face and shouted Hammer fist! Fantastic... I don't understand this show fully, i believe the plot is just too deep for my comprehension, but the action makes up for the lack of understanding.
