Jaymo Posted September 5, 2015 Report Share Posted September 5, 2015 Watching this movie at the moment. Fantastic acting and portrayal of a harrowing situation. Just wish it hadn't been made as wish it hadn't had to happen.... Utmost respect to all involved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted September 5, 2015 Report Share Posted September 5, 2015 Can't say I've heard of it; is it a recent film? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaymo Posted September 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2015 Think it came out at the end of last year... Am watching it whilst down-route in Denmark using one of my usual dodgy film sites......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaymo Posted September 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2015 Seen it advertised then it never reach the cinema Shame that, but can see that it wouldn't exactly appeal to the 'family' viewers.

jgguinness Posted September 6, 2015 Report Share Posted September 6, 2015 One of my mates plays the part of a squaddy in it. Great film, it's gone over to America and launched under the title of Kilo Two Bravo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mick miller Posted September 6, 2015 Report Share Posted September 6, 2015 (edited) My mate was the producer, he also produced the King's speech for which he won an Oscar. If you enjoyed the movie he has worked on another recently in a very similar vein. I'll ask him what is called when I get back from hols. I think it's already been nominated in a few movie awards thingies.. Edited September 6, 2015 by mick miller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaymo Posted September 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 Jgguinnes and mock. Please pass on my thanks to your friends for the fine acting ( no overpaid luvvies there) and to the Producer for the fantastic portrayal. I hope it does do well in the States and shows them Yanks how a war movie should be produced- it's not all about special effects and winning...

bruno22rf Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 Basically killed by lack of equipment as many others must have done in recent years-a map was available of the minefield yet not supplied to the unit and the English whirlybirds were out of action due to winch problems-shocking way to lose men of such honour.

Pigeonman1 Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 Im yet to see this film, i was based at Kajaki when on my second tour during 2009/2010 (Herrick11). We all heard of the story from the blokes we were replacing there. You could still see some of the kit left behind after the mine strike down in the bottom of the re-entrant. Im interested to see how much the film set actually looks like Kajaki, there were some amazing views from the OP at the top of the hills.
