War drama based on the true story of the formation of the special elite 30 Commando Assault Unit by ‘James Bond’ author Ian Fleming in the Second World War. The film follows Corporal Rains (Danny Dyer) as he joins the newly-formed 30 AU led by Major Jones (Sean Bean). Rains and the rest of the unit are pushed to the limits of endurance as they train and prepare for their first top-secret mission: to parachute into occupied Norway and seize radar technology from the Germans which could decide the outcome of the war.

This film brings up similar feelings as when I install one of the best PC games ever – “Commandos”. More specifically its second instalment with a mission where I as a green beret far in Norway have to clean up a few docks or defend a bridge to help with further developments of the Second World War, then secretly climb into a submarine and sail away with it. It’s a pity the camera was so stupid that it made the action scenes into one big jumping yoyo. Everything else was surprisingly great, which I did not expect at the beginning.
