This film shows the aftermath of a Veteran returning home to England after serving in the middle east. The streets, the gang activity were a nuisance to this honorable young man. He was a man of "special talents" learned through combat. The local gangs, thugs brought about him unleashing his abilities on them. Tony Kebbell's very thorough movements when in a tactical situation were astounding. Having a professional background in Tactical Operations myself, I truly appreciated how he carried out his moves and handling of an AR / M-4 type weapon. Here was a man that wanted peace and tried to help others, only to be pulled back into using these methods learned. Sad but sometimes a reality. Excellent movie overall.

Not the epic of the 60's but overall good acting and realism. Gear and uniforms were good. Sean Bean and Danny Dyer stand out as fine actors and the supporting cast were very good. I especially liked "Mac" (Mr. Houston) with his ole Sgt. Maj. crust. The German SS officer had the proper demeanor of our perception of the "master race" boldness and cruelty. SS Troops were just as unaffected by their murders of innocents. Accuracy in equipment was very good, as were the uniforms.

Would this be a film that will stand the test of time, no. Sequels could enhance that possibility, if of a better caliber.

I enjoyed it overall.
