Firstly to anyone who thinks they know so much about this story, and think lightly of these men.I would just like to say that this film and story is under rated, and surrounded by people judging these soldiers even though they themselves have never lifted an air gun or a paint-ball gun, let alone fought or served for their country.The SAS, and the armed forces is full of people willing to put their life on the line. To leave their warm beds and spend hours, days, or weeks in uncomfortable terrain, so stop your whinging!Because without them you would be using that fat arse of yours to run away like the phucking cowards you probably are.Either way i liked this film.I mean for all the military jargon and slang you may have to watch it a few more times, and get someone in the know to translate, but it is a good film.Not that much money was spent on it, and the special effects are limited, but it is a good portrayal of their life in Hereford, England, where the SAS is based, to Iraq. There is also some funny moments to lighten the mood.If you really want to get to grips with the story, read the book "Bravo Two Zero".It has much more detail, especially about the gruesome torture they were put through.Other books include:"The One That Got Away", by Chris Ryan. "Soldier Five", By Mike Coburn and "The Real Bravo Two Zero", by Michael asher.Each give their own opinion, so its hard to tell who is telling the truth.Either way the film is good, and some people might have to watch it more than once, but it is enjoyable.You laugh and maybe cry and anything else as you follow them.Sean Bean plays the part well, as do the supporting cast of unknown and small time actors. One of those actors has since done well.That actor is Rick Warden, who plays Tony. He has since been in "Band of Brothers", and the TV series "Rome", showing on BBC one.Either way watch this film...it is good and a good watch.Recommended!

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.

As a fan of both Sean Bean and Andy McNab, I can say that this is one of the best adaptations of a true war story I've ever seen. It captures the essence of the men without dramatizing the plot. From what I've read, as far as McNab's book and declassified documents, everything is as it was.

i confess up front that i watched this movie ONLY cause Sean Bean is in it. And my opinion is probably biased because of this, but i enjoyed the movie very much (although i had to watch it a couple times in order to understand the accents!). Basically its a buddy movie told by the main character, Andy McNab, it is a adaptation of his memoir about this incident. A buddy movie, because the focus is on the interrelationship of the guys in the unit. It's truly a study of what can go wrong in war- which is everything... In this, it contrasted sharply with the more popular and glossy 3 KINGS. The production quality of the movie was a little lower than usual, probably due to being a made for tv movie, but emminently watchable. Be prepared for torture and the degradation of war though - not for the seriously squeamish.
