No champagne or beautiful women." And enemy is not portrayed as villains or dumb like in oh so many Hollywood films. This is a real story about a real James Bond. Not much clichéd hero stuff but rather to quote that guy who first told me about McNabb: "It's about misery. The film continues to be very realistic all the way through. it then cuts to a title card which says that this is a true story accompanied with the song "Londons Calling" by The Clash. a composition of old Gulf War footage and news reports. The opening montage of this film sucked me straight in. The film Bravo Two Zero tells the story about eight SAS soldiers who was sent behind enemy lines in The Gulf War. I haven't read anything by McNabb yet but I think i will. Later on i saw Heat and I was very impressed. And he said that many people reacted very well to the fact that everyone in that movie held their guns and rifles correctly and changing the clip in a professional way. I hadn't seen Heat at the time but he recommended it because McNabb was a technical weapons training adviser on it. He said if I liked Clancy i should check out Andy McNabb. I talked to him for a long time and we got talking about books and I mentioned I was a big Clancy fan. I was first told about Andy McNabb from a half-insane guy who played the main character in a movie which was shot in my home town.
