When I first saw this film advertised I was dubious about the content, having been overwhelmed with the plethora of WWII stories of late. However the stylish presentation of the tale based around the inception of Ian Fleming's commado's was inspired. I was transported back to a time and grittiness of the big film extravaganza's that the big Hollywood studio's used to produce in the 60's such as "Hero's of Telemark" and my all time favorite "Where Eagles Dare". Sean Bean was an inspired choice for the leader of this group of fearless warriors willing to die for King & Country. He displayed a ruthlessness and vitality that Churchill himself would have been proud of. Danny Dyer as his not so trustworthy acolite shows a character with promise, if only he'd follow orders and be a team player. You can sense his need to fit in but at the same time you are left guessing, right until the end, if he will pull off the mission. The Norwegian landscape was both brutal and beautiful at the same time and the action sequences left me breathless. I would give this movie 4 stars. The only thing it lacked was a Hollywood PR wagon to ride into town on.Read full review
