    I heard one of the SAS guys (John McAleese) several years ago talk about it. It was luck/a blessing/kismet that it didn't go sideways because it sure could have, many times.
    Yup, lots of moving parts. SMUs and hostage rescues are interesting to say the least, probably the most dynamic military actions considering the innocent human life factor and press exposure.

    I would have done the same - I'm watching it right now.

    I think it's pretty well done.

    I dont want to watch it again because it was good but maybe too good.

    I will say that I hope the same people do a film about Operation Sudden Death where the SAS and Paras rescued those Irish Rangers (IIRC) from Sierra Leone.

    It was quite an Air Assault by all accounts.

    Bro, watch it again. I'm rewatching it now and think it got better as I catch things I missed the first trip through.
    Reads a lot, posts little.

    There are about 100 ops in Africa that would be great movies on their own accord...that is one of them....
