I watched this after reading a few reviews and the comparisons to Who Dares Wins etc. What I was expecting, after looking at the cover. Which features S.A.S men abseiling down from a Russian Hind helicopter for some reason. Was an action packed film where the SAS overcome the terrorists using superior skills and tactics. Showing why they are the elite of Britain's armed services along with the S.B.S. I wasn't expecting the best film in the world brilliantly acted just a no brain action romp.
The lead villain is awesome a sadistic psycho played superbly, for me the highlight of the film. The plots OK. But then we have the S.A.S portrayed as inept, under equipped, ill disciplined morons. They have a massive knack in this film of walking into the most obvious ambushes. Looking as if they learnt soldiering from "Call of Duty" rather than being a highly trained elite force. They bumble along getting wiped out as they go.
That's pretty much the film. The end is predictable and along the way we have a good dose of clichés. For example the lead cop is an ex soldier who was discharged from the army while our hero, complete with "Action Man" beard joins the S.A.S.
It's worth a watch just for the villain other than that it was time spent I can never get back.
