Who Dared and Lost.

What a load of tosh, if your going to make a film about the most famous regiment in the world then at least do it some justice.

I think the budget for this film was spent on the round of drinks in the bar of one of the scenes.

Then the hero of the story has mental issues, would he really make the grade? SAS soldiers are not super human but they have the mental strength to endure where most of us mortals would have given up thats what separates the successful candidates.

Our hero makes the grade and 3 months on goes on his first mission, what? wheres all the weapon/survival/combat training, I think in real life he wouldn't leave Hereford for a while.

Then we come to doing the mission, again no expense spared here? and appears hurried to get the film finished, if you were hoping to see some SAS tactics used, you will be sorely disappointed.

If you want to watch a film about the SAS, although now long in the tooth you could do worse (as in this film) and watch "Who Dares Wins".

I noticed Mr Richard Kemp was one of the military advisor's, what did he advise the director on? the colour of the combat uniform? with Mr Kemps background you would of thought the film to have a bit more authenticity.
