Review of Bravo Two Zero

I have only just attempted to watch this movie having just finished reading Bravo Three Zero by Des Powell. I had read Bravo Two Zero soon after it had been released and found the story to be interesting and engaging - although now of course most of "Andy McNab's" claims have been questioned by reputable sources. But it was an entertaining story nevertheless so I thought I'd try watching the movie. Wow - what an embarrassment. It's so poorly filmed and acted and so obviously low budget, it's unwatchable. You couldn't even blame the era it was filmed - Black Hawk Down was produced in a similar period, the differences are significant. All Bravo authors (Powell, McNab and Ryan) have blamed the British approach to military planning, intel and equipment etc in the failure of the Bravo missions. I would say McNab's approach to this movie is another good example of the way the brits do things in contrast the the Americans - this "movie" is so poorly resourced and executed, as a mission it was always doomed to fail. Don't bother.
