Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation
Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
kevjoemartin-29168 This was an unexpected thrilling movie absolutely terrific true story well acted scripted directed. 10 out of 10 well done Ireland.
mikiarata Many do not know that Ireland, like Switzerland, was neutral in WWII. Because of its previous neutrality, it was chosen by the nascent United Nations to try to hold peace in a southern province of the Republic of Congo in the early 1950s.The movie follows the deployment and action of "A" Company as they try to defend an outpost.The action is quite realistic and does not appear staged and while the outcome of the siege becomes clear, it is not overplayed.A small piece of history hidden from the view of the Irish people for way too long and brought to the screen with skill.
sydneyswesternsuburbs Director Richie Smyth has created a gem in The Siege of Jadotville.Starring Jamie Dorman.Also starring Mark Strong who has been in other classic flicks, Grimsby 2016, Zero Dark Thirty 2012, Kick-Ass 2010, RocknRolla 2008, Tristan + Isolde 2006, Revolver 2005 and another classic political flick, Body of Lies 2008.Also starring Michael McElhatton who has also been in other classic TV series, Game of Thrones 2012-2017 and Strike Back 2010-2017.I enjoyed the action and violence.If you enjoyed this as much as I did then check out other classic political flicks, The Berlin File 2013, Hawke 2010, Bushwick 2017 and The Suspect 2013.
geniuseire Was not aware of the 40 years cover up.This movie was an eye opener. The valiant hero's left to rot for 40 years, shame on UNITED NATIONS. Shame on O'Brien, not worthy of being called a Doctor.So few against so many and the might, the bravery of these lads is exemplary. Absolutely great movie.
