Steineded How sad is this?

TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Portia Hilton Blistering performances.

Naylor S I didn't like this movie at all. I watch it from beginning to end, several time's I wanted to give up and stop watching, but I forced myself to keep watching on the belief that it would get better... I was wrong.I got nothing, but respect for the SAS and any other special forces group.But this movie is just awful, During the first combat, several of the SAS group should have been killed or at lest by the explosion by the BMP main cannon. The explosions were right at the feet or a few inches off and yet the soldiers some how survived.Then there's the weapon flash and fire rate inconsistency, which were just that they were completely off a light or even heavy machine gun doesn't fire 3 round bursts.And during the whole part when Andy Mcnab is capture and is being interrogated his acting was just plain horrible and annoying. The best part of this movie was the ending.

rlange-3 The BBC is notorious for its anti-military bias and opposition to anything that makes either America or the British military look good. Yet here we have one of the finest squad level war movies ever made. So do not look the gift horse in the mouth. Instead watch a brutally realistic movie about a group of highly trained soldiers who see their way through a thoroughly botched mission and emerge heroes. But this outcome is not the result of Rambo style glorification of violence, but a balanced treatment of highly professional decision making, camaraderie, and thoroughly botched logistics. In other words it is as real as it gets at the movies.

stefanreig While the story of "Bravo Two Zero" could have been interesting, the conversion to film was not. Even Sean Bean could not make this movie look professional. The editing was very poorly done, sometimes to the degree where you would think that this movie's time-frame plays through several month, even though everything happens within a couple of days. (Hint: Climate changes from subzero temperatures to spring-time climate seems to happen in this movie over night). The ending however, (last 15 minutes or so) was very graphical and maybe even authentic to some degree. (This movie is supposed to be based on a true story). Overall, this movie might be something for a rainy day, or maybe even if it should be broadcast on TV, but I would definitely not buy this one on DVD. If I'm not mistaken then this movie was made for TV and you certainly are able to tell by the quality of it. Sometimes, it even reminded me of "Rambo", because there are several scenes where eight British Special Forces soldiers with light/medium weaponry fight off about 200 Iraki soldiers, which are supported with tanks and other armored vehicles. Obviously, I'll let you decide if you want to watch this movie or not, but if you want my opinion, then I wouldn't really bother watching it.

parry2323 In 'Eye of the Storm' by Peter Ratcliffe DCM (who was the Regimental Sergeant Major of the SAS during the Bravo Two Zero incident), he explains how the CO and he thought that Bravo Two Zero team should've taken in a Land Rover, yet 'Andy McNab' and his team disagreed and decided to take in 150 pound packs on their back and trek it in.'McNab' felt that it was too easy to be spotted by aircraft if they were in a Land Rover rather than if they walked in because the terrain was rather flat. Ratcliffe and the CO believed that the Land Rover would give them a better means of escape... seems like they were right.McNab seems to have glorified himself in his book and in one section of the text it reads that Ratcliffe only briefly wished him good luck and safe trip.But for this one, you'll have to make up your mind for yourself...
