Viewing Notes
Been wanting to revisit this one after I picked up the Arrow Blu a couple years ago. This birthday movie night seemed like a good time to watch it and introduce it to Ron if he hadn’t seen it. Still p wild to me that I was so obsessed with this movie given the subject matter and premise. Guessing a lot of it was lost on me and my only focus was the precision of the SAS.
I do love what a smug asshole Lewis Collins portrays here. So many great lines in a very British movie.
