Excellent, smart action film.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Unbelievably realistic and horrific war film. Excellent

I think it's a good movie showing what's behind the scenes , Stories we aren't suppose to know about especially military stuff which is so classified , This movie is showing us how soldiers are risking their lives to get the job done , Beside it's based on a true story so that's a plus for me since I love movies based on true stories, but what I didn't like is that most of the movie they are focusing on one thing in the same area I don't want to spoil it but what I can say is there is a lot of disturbing scenes even if that what really happens but when converting any story into a movie it suppose to have that cinematic plot a way to keep audience thrilled not just copy past it like re-acting what's happening in the exact way ! This is the reason my rating is 6/10 otherwise it could be better and would deserve 7/10 :)

Well, this is about a group of British soldiers fighting in Afghanistan and trapped in a mine field. It's just that, a true story, as simple as gripping and unexpected.People, as me, could think why don't just use a mine detector, a robot, but the answer it is simple, the group got trapped off guard and without the necessary tools nearby and in the encampment. Moreover, some mines are made with minimal metal content, hard to detect, they are indeed not much powerful but enough to injure or kill you. Sure, there could be other chances, but the war isn't always like a movie and this one show, with no caricatures, what really happen to these soldiers at that particular juncture.The only flaws in my opinion are that it does not enter much into the characters, which are not really explored in depth, and that the film does not show much more than this unique single event.Another gory aspect of the war.7+/10

I was recommended this by a fellow ex-serviceman as I'm usually pretty weary of this stuff. It is a little bit slow to start. (But then life in the Army can be like that.) Then it go's wrong spectacularly quickly. (Life in the Army can definitely be like that.) If you haven't served in the British forces you might not get this film, at one point I was sat quietly crying when a guy spat out a one liner that had me in creases. I won't go in to the old "them and us" bit, comparing British soldiers to American soldiers, suffice to say that these guys are very understated hero's. No hullabaloo, no histrionics just guts and above all a camaraderie that cannot be replicated anywhere else. But don't take my word for it, judge for yourself. Please.
