A must watch.
Tears of the Sun is good war film with a simple story captured well. Very realistic and belivable, no OTT bits also. It follows the mission of Bruice Willis and his squad sent to recsue a doctor of US origin.
Once rescuing her and realising that the innocent villagers will become more stats. Bruice Willis decides to turn the chopper around and head back in to war zone. And instead are faced with the task of walking out the civilians to the nearest safe zone.
Along the way they become the hunted and concludes with a stand your ground fire fight as there out numbered and on their own. Overall good realism - includes jump from herc, hi-tech GPS gear, looks autentic with US jungle kit M4's, 249's, snipers and silenced pistols and SMG's. Hand signals, knife kills, camo the opposite to some Rambo shoot erm up film.
Black Hawk Down is another must have war film. Apparently isn't as good as the book but I don't think many film versions of books are anyway. I think very realistic but people who have read the book think otherwise.
Having watched the film with Directors Commantry, one part spings to mind where they had the same pilot fly in his AH-6 Littlebird during part of the film, fly exactly and do exactly what he did when he did it in the mission in real life. So basicly played the part of himself acting out what he did.
The film is about a mission to take out a key figure of the Malisher but during the operation, a Black Hawk is hit and crashes deep into hostile territory. Following this, the situatin goes from bad to worse with a second crash and the Humvey convoy ground treoops getting hammered. After a heroic effort of US forces, they finally leave the city the next day from what was probably their "finest hour" so to speak.
Again great realism, the cast were given basic training before shooting the film also done in Band of Brothers. Great shots of the helicopters, fast roping, shooting scenes, explosions, people being shot at, use of guns etc.
Again another watchable war film with a moving story that follows the troops on the front line.

Great up front footage of troops on the front line.
A great series showing life on the front line in Afghanistan. Follows Ross Kemp on operations with the troops on the line engaging the Taliban on a daily basis. Well captured danger close footage of being under fire and shows how the troops are getting on during this conflict.

Another eye opening series of life on the front line.
A great follow up to the first series. Again follow Ross with the troops as they fight the Taliban. Life threatning action with rounds coming over their heads. Shows the battle troops are faced with against the Taliban.
