Trailer Synopsis Cast

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.

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

This film is awful. Way to much "pensive" acting. Noel in particular is just acting as Noel always does. Attitude. I assume that aptitude comes into play in UKSF training/selection?The film is believable for about 8 minutes.The end is simply ridiculous.Hilarious. Reminded me of the Rock n Rolla Russian gangsters part.And look how they operate at the final scene, I'm no soldier ,never have been, but they don't look the part.Very poor.

Movies that are this bad, unintentionally, are a joke. The notion that this guy is 'one of the best trainees ever to pass the tests' after he's freaked out in isolation, balked at jumping out of an airplane - he's an abject failure and categorical candidate for dismissal. He removes his helmet in a combat zone to hold a dying friend in his arms. He's an emotional train wreck.Acting is poor and the storyline disjunct, predictable bizarre nonsense. Insanely mediocre heavily ADR'd fight scenes. The SAS likely is ashamedThe 'love story' angle is insanely stupid and a cliché which producers likely thought would add a bizarre nuance to this steaming mound. The ending happens with zero denouement or conclusion. Time is money. Don't waste yours.

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.

I feel the other reviews for this film to be somewhat unfair, yes it'll never win any Oscars nor will it go down as an epic, I feel it certainly provides a fair amount of realism with regard to the selection process, being a former squaddie and in my early years having gone through the same selection process and failed miserably, I feel I can comment from first hand. All I can say is from a personal experience the film certainly portrays a realistic and brutal experience. Watching this film brought back some terrible memories that I would rather forget. If any squaddies currently serving is looking to do this selection course, trust me watch this film, well at least watch the first three quarters and it will give you a taster as to what to expect.It is a low budget film, pretty poor acting and the end mission a complete let down and unprofessional acting, but nevertheless overall entertaining, therefore 6 stars.
