I Am Soldier (2014)
Mickey Tomlinson, a military chef, attempts the most dangerous military selection known to man: The Special Air Service (S.A.S.) selection. The S.A.S. Is the United Kingdom's most renowned Special Forces Regiment, tasked with life threatening missions in some of the most dangerous places on the planet. Mickey has more military experience than simply being a chef, something he doesn't let on to the other candidates... Mickey is smashed by this selection process - his mind, body and soul scream for mercy as he endures torturous speed-marches over the steepest mountains, running for his life during 'Escape and Evasion' and then facing the most evil interrogation possible, during the deadly phase known as: 'Tactical Questioning.' Even after everything, there is still only one way you can really prove yourself: in combat... Many try to get into the S.A.S. Only the elite make it.

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
Best movie ever!
The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
This film is awful. Way to much "pensive" acting. Noel in particular is just acting as Noel always does. Attitude. I assume that aptitude comes into play in UKSF training/selection?The film is believable for about 8 minutes.The end is simply ridiculous.Hilarious. Reminded me of the Rock n Rolla Russian gangsters part.And look how they operate at the final scene, I'm no soldier ,never have been, but they don't look the part.Very poor.
The conclusion of this movie, the Israeli force are the world best, the Islam are the terrorist, and the S.A.S are the elite fighters.Poor story-line, poor picture, and a very lousy end.Fight scenes are very ridiculous, and have now idea why it's rated as 18This movie should be called "I am stupid"
I didn't expect much but for some unknown reason wanted to give it a go after reading a handful of positive reviews. The movie starts out OK, with a pretty decent depiction of the SAS selection, some even shot on location in Hereford but then "Mickey" receive his beret and its all downhill from there (about last 10 minutes of the movie). Skipping years of following jungle training, arctic training etc he is thrown straight into action when Carters team is ordered to take down a terrorist cell, complete with some hand-held nuke/dirty bomb gizmo... The assault is so unprofessional and uninterestingly filmed that I first thought it must be some kind of training but no. I was left with a feeling of "What just happened?" It was like somebody had throw in some action shot by some high-school-YouTube-home-movie-makers at the end after the filming had ended and it made it through the distribution process without anyone noticing.
Very 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.
