Simply Perfect

Best movie of this year hands down!

It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Don't let lack of A list celebs put you off this.I thoroughly enjoyed this film: good acting, realism in battle scenes, intriguing political backstory. Would love to see more films like this made about other lesser known conflict situations.

While the script of this movie won't win any oscars, it's plot and action scenes should be highly regarded. This movie is what I would call a baby "Black Hawk Down." A good guys vs lots of bad guys type of movie. Great film!

So he can act, may be one of the things some people might say after watching this. But it would unfair judging someone just by one movie they did (I have only seen the first 50 shades movie so far). So in company of some really good actors and in battle portraying a real incident/event from the past, he succeeds to convey more emotion than in a movie that is supposed to be about emotions/feelings.But let's stay with this, and its politics. Sometimes you find yourself being a pawn for someone else and not really being able to go anywhere else. So only thing/way to go is forward. And that's what this movie is about (and courage), amidst one of the worst situations you can find yourself imprisoned in. Since this is war, there is violence of course, and there will be almost unbelievable situations. But this actually happened (more or less), which makes it even more powerful

...that normally wouldn't be distributed as it wasn't about American soldiers. And in fact it wasn't distributed until Netflix picked up and some of the smarter raters highlighted it. Nicely done Netflix. Based on a true story about an Irish peacekeeping mission in the Congo under the UN flag in the early 60's where the military is hung out to dry. A time where the UN was focused on legitimacy while the world was focused on the cold war. Solid acting, good script, reasonable cinematography. This is not a high budget thriller, or, thankfully Hollywood propaganda, hype or horse----, but a reasonable telling of a true and fascinating story that encourages you to read the full facts on what actually happened.
