The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

What a stunning film. Coming from a military and have gone thru Ranger training I found this to be the most realistic protral of REAL human being going thru adverse training conditions Ur reviewers most of this including IMDB HAve never attended any real solidiers have missed the whole point. u want to see real soldier not Rambo or supermen watch this movie

Movies that are this bad, unintentionally, are a joke. The notion that this guy is 'one of the best trainees ever to pass the tests' after he's freaked out in isolation, balked at jumping out of an airplane - he's an abject failure and categorical candidate for dismissal. He removes his helmet in a combat zone to hold a dying friend in his arms. He's an emotional train wreck.Acting is poor and the storyline disjunct, predictable bizarre nonsense. Insanely mediocre heavily ADR'd fight scenes. The SAS likely is ashamedThe 'love story' angle is insanely stupid and a cliché which producers likely thought would add a bizarre nuance to this steaming mound. The ending happens with zero denouement or conclusion. Time is money. Don't waste yours.

the movie its self was alright. When watching it the actors played their characters well but to the best their characters would let them. When watching the movie i assumed that you would only be watching really important parts of the training. Not for the most of the movie. Once that was finally over he started to get with this girl who he tried to buy a drink for but failed. Then to round off the movie with a very rushed fight scene at the end? especially with a kick to the head to finish the final fight? left me thinking was that actually worth my time watching? Yes i have lots of respect for the armed forces but don't believe this film did any justice to them. would of been a 4/10 but for the even worse CGI it has to be a 3/10

Although here and there it surely reminds of other movies and although some footage leans towards TV quality, this film is essentially nice.It's the story of an initiation and even if you never fancied of enrolling yourself in an elite corp you can't help but empathizing with the young man nicely depicted by writer/director Ronnie Thompson and nicely played by Tom Hughes.You won't truly believe the story and in the end you won't be left with any moral lesson, have learned something new or deepened any knowledge you already had. The girl (beautiful actress Alex Reid) however is attractive, Noel Clarke plays a catching Staff Sergeant Carter and if your expectations are not excessively high you'll feel nicely entertained.
