Sean Bean has yet to star in a major movie, but he proves his charisma in <I>Bravo Two Zero</I>, based on the true story of a British Special Forces unit behind enemy lines during the Gulf War. <I>Bravo Two Zero</I> begins with the men taking leave of their wives, children, and girlfriends, then takes us step by step through the procedures that lead to going to war: not simply the gathering of equipment and intelligence, but things like "proof of life" statements--something idiosyncratic that, if the soldiers are captured, will demonstrate that they are still alive. Sent to cut an information line, the squad loses radio contact, and the men are forced to abandon their gear and head for the border of Syria. From there things only get worse, and some viewers may find the going brutal. These realistic details give the movie its punch, but it's Bean who keeps you caring. <I>--Bret Fetzer</I>
Viewer Reviews
A good account of what happened to eight British soldiers sent behind enemy lines to cut fiber optic communications cables. It is slightly slow opening with them prepping to leave their homes and families, but once they get to Iraq it picks up. Especially once they are onboard a helicopter taking them to their drop off point. It is very intense and not for small children. They are spotted almost immediately and they find themselves constantly running and in fire fights to avoid capture. Some are captured and tortured and you see how strong these solders are and how dedicated. I recommend it to War movie fans. A good double up with "Blackhawk Down" or "We Were Soldiers". Great quality DVD, no extras, but decent replaybility. - C. Luster
