The Siege of Jadotville

**The Irish entry to the modern warfare.** The Irish war film based on the book of the same name, which was originally inspired by the real battle of the Irish army during the UN's peacekeeping mission in the central Africa. Directed by a first timer and a well done job. I have seen lots of Irish film, but this was like I have never seen one before. Obviously, for being a war themed film about their first battle ever in the modern world. Between the start and the end, everything happened so quickly. You will love it if you like fast paced narration. Particularly if you are a war film fan, this is not to be missed. First of all it was not a World War II film. It was about the cold war, and its consequences, that's too far from the land those who are involved. It sets in the Congo basi

Wow, it has the dude from Fifty Shades in it and he's actually acting. It's honestly not a bad little film and that is saying a lot given that it has a small little budget doesn't it? They should really call it "Siege of Courage" because really it's about valor and nothing more, but it's about valor in a very muted and believable way. And, as I said, Christian Grey can actually act. And they did a GREAT job with a shoe-string budget. There should be more movies like this, it's a great example of how to make a good movie with no real money. It succeeds in every way.
