The only good part was being able, on Showmax, to skip through all the senseless slow-motion and repetitions, to be able to see if he makes it or not. One of the most pointless, unrealistic, boring and slow (literally, with all the slow-motion) so called movies I have ever seen.

Having served in the SANDF and fortunate to have done national service with the Recces and saw their professional and fierce character including four months in the Caprivi, I was hoping to see this captured for once, well in a movie. It deserves to be properly shown and this movie didn't deliver for me.

Based on the poster, summary, and trailer my wife and I purchased our tickets eagerly anticipating a South African version of Mission Impossible. The movie we sat down to was definitely not that.

I had high hopes for a movie about the South African border war. This movie was so far from factual that I barely watched it to the end.

Fantastic South African production with great production value! This film is fictional and an ode to the men that fought and died.

I am shocked, disappointed, furious and speechless. Facts are wrong, timeline is wrong and the most infuriating issue is the political b.

Story line 1 star too much jumping from bush too family it breaks the action to dull moments they should have showed more action in the bush too much effort on family back home however the families did suffer to they could have made a seperate movie about that...
