Did You Know?

Trivia:
In the Scotland training scene, Mac, the instructor says "..and for those of you who don't know me, you're in for a big f***in' surprise." and "...now let's try for our first heart attack, shall we?" These lines are almost identical to those spoken by RSM Sandy Young (Jack Watson) in The Wild Geese (1978).See more »
Goofs:
Factual errors: The character of Ian Fleming is shown wearing the ribbons of the 1914-18 War Medal and the Victory Medal, awarded for service between 1914 and 1918. In actuality, Ian Fleming was born in 1908 and never served in the First World War (he was eight years old when the war ended).See more »

Unfortunate undeveloped story and cast, 27 June 2011
Author: Gary Heng from Singapore

I set out watching this movie with minimal expectations given that many war stories typically revolve similar themes. The beginning of the movie all the way through to the mid sections surprised me with strong character plays and development from Sean Bean and the revolving cast. The story line while not new, managed to capture my attention with good acting and keeping the story on the go.

Unfortunately as it nears towards the end, the story seems to have been "chopped off" with a somewhat quick ending to a nicely built up story. I believe this could have been better done with a proper ending to the story.

Good acting though.
