I really liked this movie. I rented it through Netflix and they do not have the extras so I was not able to see the other parts. I liked where the Commandos were practicing their moves and their exiting the planes and entering the practice buildings. Usually in movies you do not see the training and practicing that goes into a rescue like this. When the Commandos landed they put lights where the other lights were and I wondered why when there were already lights there. When the tower was told to turn off the lights, it all made sense. I wondered why the Commandos were not wearing helmets or caps or something on their heads. I also wondered why, when the plane landed, there were bright lights inside the plane. In a night operation, you would think they would have a red light or no lights at all to enhance their night vision. I did like where the Commandos would throw a grenade in the room first, one man went left and the other right spraying the room with bullets. The part where the Commandos used RPG's to blow up the planes and the control tower was good too. The Uzi's, RPG's and AK47's were real looking and used in a proper manner. I also liked the part with Idi Amin giving a speech to the hostages-he really sounded nuts! All in all I liked this film. I hope to find a DVD with the extras so I can watch them also.
