thebricks Surrounded for five days by a larger force and no one died? I'm not surprised they were called the Jadotville Jacks. This is a propaganda movie to make it seem like these guys fought bravely and were misunderstood, but let's be honest, it seems like there was a good reason to claim they were cowards. We might not have heard the whole story. I think they just didn't want to die for Jadotville and took a few days to contemplate surrendering. The so-called casualties were probably self-inflicted. A lot stinks about this movie and it's sad that many of the younger people, gun nuts, war fetishists can't see this.

pmcveigh-11563 An excellent war drama about a little known episode involving UN Peace Keepers from the Irish Defense Forces. The film is excellent on many levels including acting, direction and location. The combat action is on par or better than in any of the Hollywood War films. The unknown cast is superb as is the filming. One of the very best Netflix films - not to be missed.

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.

davidtwyatt Ostensibly a war movie but the political intrigue and dark dealings of politicians add to the tale. The tension builds from the start but the politicians building their careers on the back of the beleaguered soldiers is the hidden tale. The end is real shocker, did they really get away with it and keep this story hidden for so long?
