Nothing to watch as winter and Covid has me movied out, and I fished out Netflix. Well not totally fished out! Then I came across The Siege of Jabotville. Mmmm a newer movie with Jamie Dornan. The Siege of Jadotville is one of those hidden Netflix gems. Like Kobri Kia, and Squid games you think this is going be a stinker, but turns out entertaining. The Siege of Jadotville is based on a true story which make for an interesting a believable movie. There is a foreground of new Irish army, and a new U N with Ireland is given a peace keeping mission. The officer Jamie Dornan is tied up, but in a different way, with politics, incompetents, and bad policy. The Irish division is sent to the Congo, in a undefendable position, we see the characters and there dependence on Jamie Dornan leadership. Doubted at first, but vetted under fire. The adversary is an experience French Foreign legion officer with a plan. There is a will of wits and the viewer wonders what will happen next. Out numbered, out gunned and without back up the the Irish division is throwing under the bus. I will not ruin the movie but just say well directed acted and executed. Worth watching on your Netflix radar.
