I picked this up because it was cheap and with Sean Bean and Danny Dyer, I thought it was bound to be 1. Gritty, 2. Foul mouthed, 3. Full of action.
Hhhhmm… a bit of a disappointment actually!
Set in WWII it tells the story of an elite bunch of soldiers who go on a secret mission to Sweden. Unfortunately, it was all a bit hum-drum and predictable. Danny Dyer played errr, Danny Dyer in an army uniform, whilst Sean Bean played slightly-against-type upper class officer – and I’m sorry to report ladies, that he’s looking a bit haggered these days and definitely the worse for wear.
So, all-in-all, an just-OK film for a Saturday night (when there’s nothing much else on TV) – but if I’d gone to the the cinema to see it, I would have been VERY disappointed.

I got into blogging quite late in life, not publishing my first post until 2004 – well into my 40s! My lifelong love of technology and communication (in all its forms), together with a fondness for the art of writing seemed to be the perfect combination to contribute a few words to the online community. But I’m no Samuel Pepys! If you’re looking for deep and meaningful comments on a variety of subjects, then you’ve arrived at the wrong site! I only pen for pleasure! On average, my posts appear about twice per month, covering family & friends, cinema visits, eating out, holiday experiences and techy stuff. Oh, and as this is my hobby, there are no sponsored links nor adverts here – it’s all done with love!
I hope you find it enjoyable, interesting and occasionally, even helpful!
Rosie Fellner was great in it though! Absolutely gorgeous.
