Watch I Am Soldier For Free

Great Film overall

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

I agree there were many (IMHO) unfair reviews of this movie. I agree this one wasn't destined for Oscars, but it was better than many of the reviews it got here.What I saw was a look at a couple guys trying out for the SAS. The selection process was not an in-depth look at how recruiting and training for this elite regiment is carried out, but I don't think that is the effect being sought after. Notes were given as the number of cadets was whittled down, and after the cut was made, a brief look at a single mission was given. I did think the ending left a LOT to be desired! There were holes left, questions unanswered, and a general feeling of WTF?? left in my mind, which reduces my overall number of stars. However, this was an interesting and otherwise reasonably well-done movie and I was not left with the feeling of 'there's 90 minutes of my life I'll never get back'. If you're expecting Rambo, or Full Metal Jacket, keep looking, this isn't it... but it also is no Lair of the White Worm (my go-to total turkey movie I use to compare a complete unpolished turd). It is worthy of a look, although probably not an addition to a DVD collection.

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.

I didn't expect much but for some unknown reason wanted to give it a go after reading a handful of positive reviews. The movie starts out OK, with a pretty decent depiction of the SAS selection, some even shot on location in Hereford but then "Mickey" receive his beret and its all downhill from there (about last 10 minutes of the movie). Skipping years of following jungle training, arctic training etc he is thrown straight into action when Carters team is ordered to take down a terrorist cell, complete with some hand-held nuke/dirty bomb gizmo... The assault is so unprofessional and uninterestingly filmed that I first thought it must be some kind of training but no. I was left with a feeling of "What just happened?" It was like somebody had throw in some action shot by some high-school-YouTube-home-movie-makers at the end after the filming had ended and it made it through the distribution process without anyone noticing.

this is farcical, slow and boring and shows nothing of the SAS selection or what the men have to go through and endure.And as above the idea of a girl meets boy in the selections? and the idea that she is some sort of spy as well?? no way! I Have seen better short movies from users on you tube acting is OK, just.I have seen worse from a grade Hollywood actors though!if you want a real idea of what the selections are like find the below "The search for Warriors"a 2 part documentary by the SBS on Aus SAS selections
