Bravo Two Zero Reviews
very very good!
one of the best man-at-war movies ever made and viewed so far. the fighting scenes and the tortures were so realistic and shockingly cruel.
Very good drama of the Gulf War
This British made-for-TV movie tells the story of an 8-man SAS unit inserted deep behind enemy lines during the first gulf war and ordered to interdict and destroy SCUD missiles. This movie was based upon a book by Andy McNab, directed by Tom Clegg (Sharpe's Rifles), and stars Sean Bean ("Sharpe's Rifles," "National Treasure," "Troy," "Lord of the Rings") as McNab.
Murphy's law was in full effect on this mission: everything that could go wrong went wrong. Their radios would not function, and they were discovered by a goatherder and reported to the Iraqi army. Because the radios were non-functional, they could not be rescued by helicopter and were forced to hike out 120 miles to the Syrian border. Along the way they were separated, and most were eventually killed or captured. After being captured they were tortured.
McNab claims that during their run for the border, the SAS team inflicted some 250 casualties on the Iraqis, including 100 KIA. This destruction is faithfully depicted in the movie, but based upon reading the Amazon reviews of McNab's book, it appears that he may have wildly embellished this part of the story. Be that as it may, this was a very good movie, considering its low, made for television budget. It kept me interested throughout, and I have no trouble recommending it.
