Renegades (2017)
What utter b*ll*cks!!!
Where to start?...
- Sarajevo in 1995 was a city under siege.
- There was little in the way of freedom of movement for the military let a lone civilians at that time in and around Sarajevo.
- US SF were not authorised to carry out snatch operations in 1995.
- and even if authorised, SEALs would not carry out such operations in broad daylight.
- There would be no belligerence between US and UKSF, just mutual respect and friendly rivalry.
- The UN were in Bosnia in 1995 not NATO.
I could go on...How do I know all this? I was in Bosnia in 1995, visited the city on a number of occasions etc...etc...so don't both watching!!!
Renegades (2022)
Shockingly Bad
Considering some of star names featured in this film, the acting is shockingly poor.
Lee Majors, Ian Ogilvy, Stephanie Beacham, Patsy Kensit, Michael Brandon et al, this is definitely not your finest hour and certainly a film not to be proud of.
It's obvious this was a very low budget movie because they couldn't even afford a decent military adviser. The SAS have never used a brass cap badge and a WO1 would not act in that manner. I won't go into the state of the berets worn!
The medals are all wrong and a former officer would not be awarded the LSGC. As for the Rhodesian Medal, not many Brits where awarded it but having 3+ in one room, highly unlikely.
Do waste your time with this one!
Battle of the Bulge: Winter War (2020)
Utter Rubbish
As an historical, fact based film, this is a pretty poor representation of one.
There are fundamental errors in uniforms, weaponry and ranks. A US Army Maj wearing a Lt Col's helmet, brand new M1carbines and uniforms. Mixed German units, SS, Wehrmacht and Fallschirmjäger.
A Maj calling a 3* Gen by his first name? I don't think so, not in front of subordinates. Berenger's character would be at least a full Col or a 1*
The acting is wooden at best, but at least they've done their best to get the weather conditions right even if not a single snowflake is seen falling despite Dec 1944 was the harshest winter on record.
A pretty poor remake!!
