Synopsis

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.

CheerupSilver Very Cool!!!
Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?
Breakinger A Brilliant Conflict
Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.
Sam Donaldson the movie its self was alright. When watching it the actors played their characters well but to the best their characters would let them. When watching the movie i assumed that you would only be watching really important parts of the training. Not for the most of the movie. Once that was finally over he started to get with this girl who he tried to buy a drink for but failed. Then to round off the movie with a very rushed fight scene at the end? especially with a kick to the head to finish the final fight? left me thinking was that actually worth my time watching? Yes i have lots of respect for the armed forces but don't believe this film did any justice to them. would of been a 4/10 but for the even worse CGI it has to be a 3/10
Chris Prosser 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
britton_2008 What an opportunity these guys had to make a gritty realistic glimpse into what our lads go through during the Selection process .... The writers and director let them down as well as the producers. I bought this film on DVD and I feel hard done by wasting £7 ....so god knows what the Producers who paid for this crap movie must feel like Seriously though why didn't they think of employing an Ex SAS guy to train and overlook as an advisory? - it's so amateurish it's laughable, especially the last scene. Finally there wasn't even a decent story - no empathy for the characters who frankly are badly cast. Director and writers should be ashamed at their half hearted effort
nowego Before I even went near this movie I read all the reviews and saw the rating so I started off with very low expectations, because the reviewers on IMBT are never wrong, right? LOL what a joke.This turned out to be quite an enjoyable movie, nothing special, but not too shabby either. Most of the cast put in a good effort and it was good to see all the familiar faces (UK TV fan here).While the some of the fighting near the end could have been done with improved choreography, for me it didn't really detract from the overall movie.If you are going to see this don't expect too much, if you are looking for an over the top Hollywood blockbuster, give it a miss, you will be disappointed. If you are looking for a semi realistic 90 minutes of entertainment watch it.Overlook the rating, this is better than a 4/10 movie. I gave it a 10 to counteract all the undeserving 1s. It deserves at least a 6/10.
