Anyone seen this film? True story of a bunch of squaddies who got caught in a landmine filled river bed in Afganistan in 2006.
Fucking hell. Essential viewing. Ive just lumped aload of ££ into one of the survivors charities and probably wont sleep well tonight...
Why the fuck they were there is another story for another day..

Watched it, won't watch it again, too harrowing. It surprised me too because i thought i couldn't hate Blair more than i already did.

I had never heard of this film until I read this thread.
watched it yesterday and have to agree with my fellow WHOers, it's absolutely brilliant.
as said, not easy watching but compulsive viewing.
my friend is making his boys watch it to scare them off ever joining the army!

Very good film but hard to watch. Weirdly, I was in Leicester Sq on the night of the premier and wondered what all the soldiers in wheelchairs were doing as I'd never heard of the film.
Anyone seen 'The Patrol' yet? It sounds quite similar.

A lot of the script also comes directly from the pages of the MODs reports - essentially the soldiers recalling what was discussed between themselves, transferred to the screen.

I was at the première and got to have a chat with the director - it's been very honestly made and entirely follows the MOD debriefs, down to the smallest details of the maps of the location throughout the incident.
Unbelievable film. I have never been more tense in a cinema in my life.

A mate of mine, a fellow Hammer, has just done a tour there with a private security company; he put me on to the movie a couple of weeks ago.
Very hard to watch!
Definitely the best movie I've seen this year.

watched it yesterday - great film, and reminds you of the real horrors of war.

It's far more realistic and hence grim than some of the flag waving US stuff we're acquainted with, and as such, has more merit. Of course, one doesn't enjoy a film like this but it remains gripping and engaging all the same.
Nevertheless, Come and See and Downfall are still the best war films, I reckon.
