best movie i've ever seen.
A brilliant film that helped define a genre
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
This is so so so bad I had to watch it till the end, basically wetting myself.All aspects of acting, all aspects of cinematography. How the heck anyone rated this more than 1 star bemuses me.Brilliantly ? Awful beyond description.
Zero out of 1000...You'd have thought the writers of the film would check the rank pips and get them correct - as well as the salute. Apparently the main character is a 'Major', yet he shows Corporal strips. The salute is an American one (a bad one) versus the British (palm out) salute.Sorry, this 'film' wound me up. It was so bad. Badly written, researched, filmed and just all round incorrect. They even had the ballistic qualities of a human being hit with a round cartoonish. I could go on and on, but other reviewers have stamped there mark on how bad this thing is. Avoid at all costs, please. I note from another reviewer they show a person shooting an MP5 from the left shoulder - that's fine since the MP5 is NOT chambered in 5.56 X 45mm, rather than typically 9x19mm parabellum - less often in 10mm auto and .40S&W.The acting is wooden, engagement low and just highly irritating. If you want to watch a similar but well made movie, may I suggest the 1982 "Who Dares Win" with Lewis Collins.
From the start my suspicions were that it was not going to be what I had hoped. The moment the SAS trooper turned and knocked on the door of No10 I was reaching for the off button. "Major" Lowe (?) turned up in a Corporals uniform from what looked the Medical Corps (the RAMC serving or veterans Will be mortified) he was immediately referred to as Major despite his shiny white two stripes on his arm, he strode into meeting of some dodgy characters reading their lines from hidden notes and cast up a salute while his cap was under his arm. To make matters worse the salute, if it could be called that was rather like one made by John Wayne about the US Cavalry! This film is a travesty, it lack authenticity, a script or even a shred of credibility. Avoids it at all costs before the SAS come calling which they may do when searching fir the director and script writers.
Awful. Shockingly bad. I'm embarrassed to give it 1/10 but 0/10 wasn't an option. Anybody associated with this movie should hang their head in shame and choose a different career. I've never tried to make a movie but after watching 45 minutes of this guff (I had to switch it off) I may give it a go. If there are idiots out there willing to fund such bilge then I'm sure I could make a movie about a subject I know nothing about too! There are movies out there that are so bad you need to keep watching, this isn't one of them. Just don't bother. Seriously. Jeez, my eyes and ears are still bleeding from this movie (the use of the word "movie" has been used in the loosest possible terms known to man)
