Not sure if this movie was just simply made to launder drug money. Or maybe someone quit their job as an accountant at Tesco's because they thought they had the making of a great screen writer.
The script - appalling
The acting - my god; surely none of the people in this call themselves actors. The person playing the lead (I cant even be bothered to look him up on a separate tab) didn't even bother to research his own part or any background to it - obviously hoped the director would tell him everything he needed to do. The rank is wrong (he wears a Corporals rank rather than Major - Not easily confused). The salute is worse than Basil Fawlty/Gordon Brittas. Did he grow crap facial hair for the role.
Do not waste the click of looking at the synopsis on Netflix.
The cast and crew should be 'put down'.
--- By the way this parody has better acting and a more solid script https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K72-9oXsG30

What a load of **** Terrible cinematography, acting and generally a waste of time The person who directed it does not have a clue about the SAS or security procedures and protocols in the UK. The ranks are all to pot as well. The hero "Lowe" is called major yet wears a rank of sergeant just gives you an idea of how terrible this really is. The filming of the choreography (Fighting scenes you can actually see that they did not make contact). was terrible. Don't waste your time watching it. The same goes for the prequel to this film. Effects used just gave me a headache is there really any need to zoom in an out as if it was video for a pop song badly edited. Terrible!
The first was bad but has some redeemable qualities. It would be more excusable if it would have been a debut director from people that claim to have done lots of previous films, it was bad! I gave the 2nd one a chance after seeing some hype around it. oh dear, was i disappointed. Shoddy directing, terrible acting (simon phillips trying to be tough again) and that constant tough guy talk that is as if its written by a 14 year old! With the white collar movies that became laughable after the first, i will be praying these guys don't make another 'heist' movie, if you'd even call it that! i think these producers, writers, directors need to watch some movies before to make anymore. and maybe cast someone other than simon phillips to play the lead.
Ever been sat at a bar and struck up a conversation with some social reject who swears he used to be in the SAS? When most likely the closest he ever got to the SAS was listening to an audiobook of an Andy McNab novel.
This is a film made by that guy, and it's about as believable as his barfly stories. Every single aspect of this is woeful.
The first 20-30 mins are nothing but a muddled recap of the previous film in the series, which I've had the good fortune of not seeing. Once the story finally begins, it's just one wooden scene after another with jarring video effects thrown in, trying (and failing) to make the on-screen action remotely interesting.
If you're even contemplating this as a dumb-but-fun action film -- don't. There's maybe 10 mins of action in the whole thing, and it's appallingly bad.
Walk away and go see a documentary on the Iranian Embassy siege, or many of the other fine drama-docs on the SAS that portray them as they are, and not this insult to their name.

Well that's 90 minutes of my life I won't get back again. Good grief I have seen some crap films before but this tops the list, as has been said by others I will echo it, wooden acting, horrendous fight scenes, special effects that really need work.
The Army ranks that are used are so wrong, the "hero" is a Major in the SAS and is wearing the rank of a Corporal, he is not wearing anything to denote he is a member of the SAS, Medals are wrong, not mounted right, saluting like an American and without Headdress off, doesn't happen. The Chief of the General Staff, where to start with that t**t, and the same with the "Lieutenant General" (Major) in the COBRA room. with a little bit more research and time spent this could have been a really good film, however this was a car crash on top of a train wreck flattened by a plane and then battered by a nuke just for good measure.
As a side note, if the writer had bothered to ask either serving military or even ex-military he could have got that bit right (maybe), the same goes for the police side of things, I know it is supposed to be fiction, but at least try to make an effort to get things correct.
