a5c7b9f00b The true story of the formation of Ian Fleming's 30 Commando unit, a precursor for the elite forces in the U.K.
Based on the real-life events of Ian Fleming's 30 Commando during World War II this is a story which takes our heroes from the edge of defeat on the beaches of Dunkirk to the mountains of Norway on a dangerous mission behind enemy lines that, if successful, could change the course of the war.
I agree with a previous entry - that this was the worst WWII film I have ever seen. <br/><br/>I'm not sure the budget was the main problem - it was a really boring story, or at least the screenplay portrayed it so. This is the plot: Go into enemy territory to get your hands on something important, kill lots of Germans, and then bring the thing home (except the film ended way before they got home). There was little else ... no love interest ... no falling out amongst the commandos ... no ending!<br/><br/>I thought that the acting was good, but with the scripts they had, even Danny Dyer and Sean Bean couldn't pull it around.<br/><br/>If only I had read these reviews first!
I started writing reviews (this is my 2nd) because I felt that most other reviews tend to pick movies apart whether that be the acting, cinematography, soundtrack or whatever the reviewer happens to like or dislike. When reading a review I want to find out if the movie is worth watching.<br/><br/>I only want to comment on the entertainment value. If the entertainment value is, in my opinion, lacking then I'll reflect that in my vote.<br/><br/>Having said that "Age of Heroes" is a very good old fashioned British type war movie. It is very enjoyable. This movie falls into my category "I would go to the cinema to watch it"
