Well what more can I say about this movie that hasn't been said in other reviews already. I have not read Ronnie Thompsoms book so I don't know how this compares to the original story. What I can tell you is that this low budget movie was dreadful.Im not really sure where to start. There clearly wasn't enough research done on the SAS for starters. Considering this movie was predominantly about the SAS selection process, the scenes shot for the first three quarters of the film were unrealistic.The training teams behaviour attitude and professionalism was laughable and unbelievable. The hills phase was not portrayed well, and neither was the Escape and Evasion. The Jungle Phase, missed out completely and the jumps phase.....please!The acting, although OK wasn't the best, I've seen. as previously mentioned by others a little more time with an acting coach might have made the Bosnian terrorists a bit more believable.Ultimately I guess the actors were just trying to make the best of the awful script. The characters felt hollow and unfinished and I never really connected with any of them. By the end of the film I didn't really care if Mickey, the lead character made it through or notKit and equipment used was either wrong or being used incorrectly and the weapon handling throughout, in particular the last 20 minutes of the film was, to be frank....embarrassing. The final assault would probably in reality left the entire team dead and a dirty bomb on the streets of London. This movie did absolutely nothing to show the true professionalism of the most elite soldiers in the world. In the days of low budget movies, there is no excuse for turning out rubbish like this, particularly when you look at other British made low budget military movies recently made. Where I am Soldier gets everything wrong, the recent movie - Kajaki hits the nail on the head throughout. Don't waste your time watching this, its time you'll never get back, Go watch Kajaki instead and see how movies like this 'should' be made

I never heard about this movie before I watched it, and quite frankly, I wasn't expecting I would sit through the whole thing. But I actually came to like it. Having seen many special forces selection documentaries, I liked how this focused on just one main character, instead of some random soldiers, whom we never get to learn about, as in the documentaries. As for realism, I found the selection training to be quite realistic. That is, it seems to fit very well with all the documentaries, but who really knows 'till you been there yourself? As for the lone action scene in the movie, I found it a bit lacking. It could have been a lot worse though. It's a low budget movie, but they generally used what they had well.An alright movie, just one thing majorly annoyed me: There is SO much use of "black screen". Sometimes with sound, other times with nothing. At times I felt like 20% of the movie showed a black screen.

After sitting in films like "The Elite Squad", this film represents the current training that many teams of Special Operations have to overcome. Are these physical and psychological exercises that originated hundreds of books with PsyOps nomenclature. Brave soldiers, in order to be part of Team Intervention Against War and Terrorism, which are part of our current days. A coming UK history, begins with hundreds of candidates that only the strongest can overcome. It is a film that focuses on the main requirement that is essential for extreme operations, the ELITE.

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.
