Firt war in Iraq. Just after it ends. Guys found a map that leads them to a secret shelter where gold stolen from Kuwiet is hidden by Iraqi soldiers.

I like very much the scene where they are escaping from the village and Iraqi soldiers are shooting them from mortar with gas shells.

The movie is very good I think, you can't be boring. Maybe it is more fiction then reality but it doesn't matter for me if I still like it.

Welcome To The Suck!

Movie is based on a book written by former Marine Anthony Swofford. The book was bestseller in 2003 and is about his pre-Desert Storm experiences in Saudi Arabia and about his experiences fighting in Kuwait.

It is about waitting for a fight and shoot that never came because 100 days war was over before they could took shoot. Marines arrived in Soudi Arabia and were waitting, preparing, trainning, drinking water, being bored... These guys are really crazy.

Eight man from SAS special forces were put behind Iraqi lines during the Gulf War in January 1991. The mission was to destroy scud missiles. This top secret mission was called "Bravo Two Zero". Sergeant Andy McNab (Sean Bean) was a commander.

I don't kow how do you think but I like films where spec groups have something to do but the good one. This one is very good.
