CommentsXp Best movie ever!

TeenzTen An action-packed slog

Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

thekingsdom Just caught this on Netflix. I wasn't going to watch it but then I read the reviews here on IMDb. I'm glad I did. What can I say? Superb film! True story, lots of tension throughout the film, lots of action, great script, great acting, and well directed. Just yes!

planet_benisti The film is based on a true story it is wel played and filmed.

pietclausen I happened to be in Jadotville before the arrival of the Irish UN troops. The Katangese did not want the UN to be there at all and supported Moise Tshombe. Even the public aimed their hostility at the UN and praised Tsombe's mercenary forces. In Jadotville we knew that the Irish and trouble was coming, so some friends and I were evacuated to Elizabethville.I lost touch with happenings at Jadotville and one never knew what really transpired there. It is only now by coming across this film that the truth comes out and why the secrecy was kept for 45 years.I watched the film with anticipation, which also brought back many memories. I accept that the film was dramatized, but I can assure you it was no fun being there.

chrishouston-86002 Don't let lack of A list celebs put you off this.I thoroughly enjoyed this film: good acting, realism in battle scenes, intriguing political backstory. Would love to see more films like this made about other lesser known conflict situations.
