This is a real good recount of the events of the Iranian Embassy siege. The was not any Hollywood dramatics just a fair portrayal. It was an example of Murphy's Law ie don't fu*k with Murphy. Without doubt the SAS are not just the best of British, but the best of the best.

I had a great time watching this movie. Honestly don't know what all the hate is about. Critic score is massively too harsh and once again imo just critics trying to get some attention. Was a solid telling of events and I thought the direction and acting were also solid. Few niggles but nothing crazy. Highly recommend this. Watch it!

Movie is done badly. Movie suffers from serious lack of personal experience, you can't see agony of the hostages and this situation was for sure very stressful. For me this movie is tribute to that reporter, negotiator and M Tacher. Movie failed in transferring some kind of emotion to me, I almost forgot the kidnappers were holding hostages. It would be better they made a documentary with all those facts and thats it. This was very basic and dry view of what was going in the ambassy during 6 days. It was 6 days drama, they could use that better when they already decided to film this movie. Still watchable, if you decide to watch it you wan't make a big mistake.

I really tried to like this movie. BIG fan of Jamie Bell but the story isn't strong. I just can't understand why people would make a movie about this event. For me, its really painful to watch. OK, yes I'm from the states and NO, i don't like typical shoot-em up movies. The ebb and flow of this movie is just... HORRIBLE. Also, the breach scene was really unrealistic. The SAS are the top elite solders. There is no WAY they would have executed this mission that way. It was like watching a bunch of bagpiper slowly trying to rescue multiple hostages... If this is exactly what happened, if feel bad for the British.
