Nonureva Really Surprised!
Stellead Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful
Cristal The movie really just wants to entertain people.
bghilliotti A very historically accurate film about an obscure event in African and Cold War History. It is surprising that such a movie was made, and glad that it has. Also explains why it has become forgotten, and the moral dilemma the the commander the Irish UN forces faced. Brian Ghilliotti
planet_benisti The film is based on a true story it is wel played and filmed.
kevjoemartin-29168 This was an unexpected thrilling movie absolutely terrific true story well acted scripted directed. 10 out of 10 well done Ireland.
thebricks Surrounded for five days by a larger force and no one died? I'm not surprised they were called the Jadotville Jacks. This is a propaganda movie to make it seem like these guys fought bravely and were misunderstood, but let's be honest, it seems like there was a good reason to claim they were cowards. We might not have heard the whole story. I think they just didn't want to die for Jadotville and took a few days to contemplate surrendering. The so-called casualties were probably self-inflicted. A lot stinks about this movie and it's sad that many of the younger people, gun nuts, war fetishists can't see this.
