I thought this might have been a bit of sleeper, but I watched it for the story. This is a great film. My concern was, as with so many 'True' stories, the pacing.. This is film starts well, and just carries right through. Great pacing, good cinematography, very good acting and a script with no 'oh come on' moments.
The only down side is the fact its true and how great acts of valour are turned into cowardice foe politics. These troops were up there with the soldiers of Rorke's Drift.
All in all, I think this is solid 9.
