Sean Bean has yet to star in a major movie, but he proves his charisma in Bravo Two Zero, based on the true story of a British Special Forces unit behind enemy lines during the Gulf War. Bra...( read more  read more... )vo Two Zero begins with the men taking leave of their wives, children, and girlfriends, then takes us step by step through the procedures that lead to going to war: not simply the gathering of equipment and intelligence, but things like "proof of life" statements--something idiosyncratic that, if the soldiers are captured, will demonstrate that they are still alive. Sent to cut an information line, the squad loses radio contact, and the men are forced to abandon their gear and head for the border of Syria. From there things only get worse, and some viewers may find the going brutal. These realistic details give the movie its punch, but it's Bean who keeps you caring. --Bret Fetzer

This has to be one of t...( read more)he best war films ever made. Without all the Hollywood embellishment, the film focus is on the men on the ground. This is their story of survival in a war zone. A must see for any military movie buff.

    I never caught this back when it was first aired on BBC but I saw the DVD and just had to grab it. It doesn't quite have the same emotional impact that the book had, but good all the same
