DVD Reviews of Bravo Two Zero

DVD Review: Needs a remake!
Summary: 3 Stars

Have read the book several times along with "The Walk In" by Chris Ryan. Having been to the exact places where they made their trek across western Iraq, I can relate to their misery in the cold and sand. The movie was straight with the book but was obviously done on a very low budget. Also, if you don't understand the "Queen's English", you may have trouble understanding some of the movie. This movie could be re-done and it could be alot better.

DVD Review: Sean Bean a great movie
Summary: 5 Stars

Brave two one zero,this is one of Sean Beans best movies he has done.before i bought the movie i had already read about it in his book.As with most of Seans work you always get a brilliant movie.Brave two one zero is full of action and really enjoyable to the end.

DVD Review: Bravo Two Zero, eight left and five returned
Summary: 4 Stars

A good account of what happened to eight British soldiers sent behind enemy lines to cut fiber optic communications cables. It is slightly slow opening with them prepping to leave their homes and families, but once they get to Iraq it picks up. Especially once they are onboard a helicopter taking them to their drop off point. It is very intense and not for small children. They are spotted almost immediately and they find themselves constantly running and in fire fights to avoid capture. Some are captured and tortured and you see how strong these solders are and how dedicated. I recommend it to War movie fans. A good double up with "Blackhawk Down" or "We Were Soldiers". Great quality DVD, no extras, but decent replaybility. - C. Luster

DVD Review: Great film
Summary: 5 Stars

Well worth owning or at least seeing. Faithful to the book. Sometimes real life is better than fiction.

DVD Review: Great Story - Low Budget Movie
Summary: 3 Stars

A great story told on a "made for TV" budget.

The film looks and feels right. It doesn't have the Hollywood blockbuster special effects and cast, but real life doesn't either. Actual footage is interspersed which gives it a documentary feel. If you have read the book, Bravo Two-Zero by Andy McNab, you will be able to follow along quite easily.

On the downside, they tried to cram too much of the book into the movie. There are scenes that seem to have been done only because they were `in the book" and not because they add to the story. The acting is average and some of the special effects cheesy.

If you read and enjoyed the book then you should follow-up with the movie. If your only interest is to be entertained, then you may be disappointed.

Description of Bravo Two Zero

Starring action favorite Sean Bean (THE LORD OF THE RINGS, DON'T SAY A WORD, ESSEX BOYS) and based on a captivating true story written by best-selling author Andy McNab, BRAVO TWO ZERO explores the tragedies and triumphs of men taken to the edge of survival during the Persian Gulf War. When an elite eight-man British SAS team is dropped behind enemy lines, their mission is clear: take out Saddam Hussein's SCUD missile systems. But when communications are cut and they find themselves surrounded by Hussein's army, their only hope is to risk capture and torture in a desperate 185-kilometer run to the Syrian border. With a terrific screenplay by the writer of the classic action hits KELLY'S HEROES and RED HEAT, you'll long remember this compelling story of wartime heroism and bravery.

Sean Bean has yet to star in a major movie, but he proves his charisma in Bravo Two Zero, based on the true story of a British Special Forces unit behind enemy lines during the Gulf War. Bravo Two Zero begins with the men taking leave of their wives, children, and girlfriends, then takes us step by step through the procedures that lead to going to war: not simply the gathering of equipment and intelligence, but things like "proof of life" statements--something idiosyncratic that, if the soldiers are captured, will demonstrate that they are still alive. Sent to cut an information line, the squad loses radio contact, and the men are forced to abandon their gear and head for the border of Syria. From there things only get worse, and some viewers may find the going brutal. These realistic details give the movie its punch, but it's Bean who keeps you caring. --Bret Fetzer
