Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined

Helllins It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Usamah Harvey The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

metalgear-25259 This film tries to build tension but fails. The hostage that gets killed half way is seen to be dragged onto a stretcher and blanketed but can be seen as a legless prop!? The jokey banter with the reporters almost makes the film tilt into some light hearted comedy. This really is a serious situation that didn't need this kind of humour if you wanted to maintain a tense atmosphere. The biggest disappointment is the siege itself. One SAS soldier dangles and fumbles as he's stuck on his zip rope. After what feels like a good 5mins of the film cutting back and forth to other events, a soldier on the roof eventually cuts him loose!? Surely he could have cut himself free in a matter of seconds as part of his elite training? But no we are served this fumbling mess which really drags the pace of the siege into an amateurish halt. This isn't really a thing when you see the real footage. A poor attempt at tension building which really didn't work and made the long build up even more pointless. The moment a terrorist is identified trying to escape with civilians on the stairs was resolved with an arrest and not a point blank shooting with an mp5. It's a watchable film and sets up 1980 believably enough. But what this film should have had is sadly lacking due to shoddy directing. It prefers to take you on a fumbling trip of nostalgia and sentimental after thoughts rather than elevating pace, tension and fluid action it was so gasping for.

omendata Who Dares Wins Was A Far Better Movie and that isnt saying much.Abbie Cornish simply cannot act. Poor , tedious , long drawn out boring remake of an old movie once again.I kinda thought this might be just another rehash with nothing new to tell us - so why make these films?

Shaun V. I was somehow shocked when I saw the ratings this movie got. Sure, this movie will not win big awards, or anything like that. But I actually truly enjoyed this picture, as an interesting movie about a historical fact that I didn't really know about due to my young age.The movie doesn't lose time on futile details. It's an honest depiction of what happened over those six days. It starts immediately with the hostage. The movie feels genuine, and not meant as a brutal action movie. Keeping details true to the facts is of course a good thing. But somewhere on the line, they forgot about character development. There were some key characters, but without being really key characters. You could feel they were somehow important to the story, but you never really got a back story on them. The best example is the woman of the BBC. I didn't grew up in the UK, so I never heard of her. After the movie ended, they explained who she was. I think they could have done a lot more with the characters. You just didn't feel an attachment to any of the characters. Same with the terrorists and the negotiator.To be fair, it's not easy to do all this in just 1 hour and half. I genuine feel this movie needed some more screen time. If you enjoy movies based on true stories or historical events, you won't be disappointed.

john_spartan-33261 Thrilling, atmospheric, minimallistic and awesome. All along keeps in stress, until the end. Perfect movie! Even better than "13 hours". Very authentic in terms of equipment and atmosphere. All dialogues don't contain a single line that's just ballast. It makes you watch it like a documentary. And no political correctness! So rare these days, when director told the truth no matter what. Applause!
