great

this is a great film, it looks at one of britains most secret force and tells a true story of Sergeant Andy McNabb and his patrol deep in Iraq attempting to destroy scuds and communication lines.

A war story that has stuck to the facts and hasn't been converted to suit the audience. Very gripping and well told story.
