It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

After I read the book I was so eager to watch the movie... I must say that I was rather disappointed with the movie. Not because it was low budget, but it seemed to leave out too much of the emotion that I felt in the book. While reading I could really feel the pain and suffering they were going through. I wanted to connect with the characters more in the movie, i suppose it is also down to budget, time etc, but i would have liked to get deeper into the minds of the soldiers, and see how they were effected mentally, challenged physically and how they needed each other to survive. The book shows this well, the movie not so much. Andy McNab is a badass, looking forward to reading his other books.

As a soldier and something of a war movie buff, it's refreshing to see a good story turned into a film that doesn't add the Hollywood effect of lack of realism. Bravo Two Zero tells the story of a Special Air Service patrol in Iraq during the Gulf War as realistically as possible, right down to the amount of gear they lug and what difficulties lie in tactical operations.Having "Andy McNab" as a military advisor seems to have paid off in spades, as everything you see in the movie is how it really works, down to the textbook section attack they execute against the Iraqis.If you haven't read the book, do so. Then read Chris Ryan's "The One That Got Away", which tells his side of the story. Then read Peter Ratcliffe's "Eye of the Storm" and Michael Asher's "The Real Bravo Two Zero" and decide how much of the tale you actually believe. Worth a look.

As a fan of both Sean Bean and Andy McNab, I can say that this is one of the best adaptations of a true war story I've ever seen. It captures the essence of the men without dramatizing the plot. From what I've read, as far as McNab's book and declassified documents, everything is as it was.

Just saw Bravo Two Zero today for the first time. I had been meaning to check it out for a while now, ever since I had read the book by Andy McNabb. Anyways, it's a good movie but if you liked it I would definitly recommend reading the book if you havn't read it already. It goes into a lot more detail and amazingly, there is a lot more to the story than what the movie shows us.
