 DVD Review: Bravo Two Zero
A 1999 BBC production that is only currently getting a US video release, "Bravo Two Zero" is based upon the best selling novel by Andy McNabb about a secret mission in Iraq that went wrong.
The soundtrack for "Bravo Two Zero" fares decently, as sound effects and music don't overshadow dialogue, while all the elements come through clearly (although some may have a bit of trouble understanding some of the British accents).
Final Thoughts: "Bravo Two Zero" is a fairly well-done action drama with some decent performances, but it has some slow patches and although the details felt authentic, I would have liked a bit more character development.

On the night of 22nd January 1991, at a remote airfield in Saudi Arabia, under cover of darkness and in conditions of the utmost secrecy, eight members of the SAS regiment boarded a helicopter that was to infiltrate them deep behind enemy lines.

This is McNab's account of the mission - a chronicle of courage, endurance and dark humour in the face of extreme cold, enemy attack, capture, and torture of a savagery and relentlessness for which not even their intensive SAS training had prepared them.
