What's the movie about?
Bravo Two Zero was produced by the BBC and shown on British TV in 1998. It is a true story set in the early days of the Gulf War (Iraq 1991) and retells the story of an 8 man SAS squad behind enemy lines; their mission was to destroy Iraqi scud missiles launchers and also to cut communication lines. Very quickly their position becomes compromised and they are set back further by equipment failure and bad weather. Deciding to abort their mission they have to fight numerous running battles with a much larger Iraqi army before they can reach the border to safety. Eventually some of the squad are captured and have to endure interrogation and torture from Iraq's secret police. Bravo Two Zero is an excellent story of an elite squadron trying to escape from behind enemy lines with things getting worse as each minute passes.

My Thoughts:
I purchased this soon after it was shown on TV as I was completely hooked on it; the action, the story just everything about it! As some of you may know this DVD is based on a true story and I had to keep asking myself did this really happen! These guys go through hell and the story is retold so well that your heart will be racing in places. Since watching this I have read the Bravo two Zero book by Andy McNabb and believe that this movie is a fairly good adaptation so if you haven't seen this yet and enjoy war movies/SAS action then go get it now!

The DVD:
I paid full price of around £12.99 when this was first released and thought that it was good value for money even at this 'high price'. The video quality on the DVD is excellent and clear even during the night scenes, which there are plenty of. The audio sadly is only stereo but still provides a good experience of being involved in the action so is not a major stumbling point for the DVD. Along with the movie the DVD contains special features in the form of a 22 minute interview with Andy McNabb which is worth seeing. Also included is a behind the scenes training session of Sean Bean learning how to use the weapons and being taught engagement tactics i.e. how to avoid pooing your pants when you see the enemy! Both of these special features are excellent additions to the DVD.

The DVD comes packaged in a standard case and also includes a small booklet which tells you a bit about Andy McNabb, pictures of the SAS Squad (actors) and a short story about the SAS for those who wish to find out more about the most elite Special Forces team in the world.
