Bravo Two Zero (1999)
When an elite eight-man British SAS team is dropped behind enemy lines, their mission is clear: take out Saddam Hussein's SCUD missile systems. But when communications are cut and the team finds themselves surrounded by Saddam's army, their only hope is to risk capture and torture in a desperate 185-kilometer run to the Syrian border. Based on the true story of a British Special Forces unit behind enemy lines during the Gulf War, Bravo Two Zero explores the tragedies and triumphs of men taken to the edge of survival in the Persian Gulf War.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
The movie really just wants to entertain people.
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.
After I read the book I was so eager to watch the movie... I must say that I was rather disappointed with the movie. Not because it was low budget, but it seemed to leave out too much of the emotion that I felt in the book. While reading I could really feel the pain and suffering they were going through. I wanted to connect with the characters more in the movie, i suppose it is also down to budget, time etc, but i would have liked to get deeper into the minds of the soldiers, and see how they were effected mentally, challenged physically and how they needed each other to survive. The book shows this well, the movie not so much. Andy McNab is a badass, looking forward to reading his other books.
This movie was a amazing film. Though I do not recommend it to younger people or people who are sensitive about the events that happened to Mister Macnab. The acting in this film was amazing. Sean Bean did a wonderful job as the soldier, the good guy. Which seems to be the best role for him, not the baddie! But, this film was amazing. With a good ending and a story that makes you think, wow, those men actually went out there to help people. Though, it could be rather sad and frightening at times. I would not recommend minors seeing it, or people sensitive to war violence. But, other than that, go see it. It is a wonderful movie.
This film about a British Spec. Ops officer and his men trapped in the middle east after a botched mission during the Gulf War was absolutely amazing. Based on the true story by Andy McNab, Sean Bean captured this essence of this role fantastically. The dreadful things they went through combined with the horrors they faced, accentuated by their incredible bravery made this true-to-life tale almost larger than life.I can say nothing bad about this movie!
