    Very very enjoyable crap

    Oh what a crap, badly made with a terrible acting, editing and production design. I highly doubt that the actual SAS special forces proceed this way during action, and with such a poor equipment and warfare facilities, with no ballistic helmets(!!!) but who cares? I watched as a cheap one more DIE HARD rip-off. Everything here is lousy, tongue in cheek but I enjoyed it, every minute. There are twelve bad guys at the beginning of the assault and it appears that at least twenty of them are eventually killed all long the film. Search the error.. Many surprises here, many brutal killings and this is the perfect example showing that a piece of crap may be exciting to see; and that doesn't mean that the movie is good. I mostly loved the gorgeous female terrorist. Please if you watch it, don't do it with great expectations, just as an effective grade Z piece of work. Monitor your spirit and eye on what it actually is. Don't try to compare with a major Hollywood feature. And then and only then you'll enjoy it.

    Give Zara Phythian her own film to shine in

    Zara Phythian is the responsible for all the stars this review awards the film. She is more physically capable than the men supposedly playing S.A.S, and has more of a screen presence than all of the villains in the film combined. I hope she goes on to do far more, in work that is far more deserving. As for the rest... where do I start? This film was clearly made by a team where the quality was second to anything else. Script, story, logic, even effort, seems so lacking. Much like their "white collar hooligan" films, the sequel was in the works before this one even came out. So that sure isn't by public demand. Looking at the other reviews on here, the public has spoken. If the sequel picks up the slack left by it's predecessor it may surprise us all, but the track record of work does not suggest that will be the case.

    why movies like this leaves the audience craving for peace of mind.

    So many movies just thrive on mass killing and lack of discretionary use of language to click with the norm of the times. He Who Dares happens to be no different.

    To me it did not appeal from the word go. And here are the reasons.

    Even a 10 year who has played Call of Duty or Battlefied series of games can tell you that you do aim down the sight and not fire from the hip. Wish the actors were told that.

    Secondly now a days there is this new blood thirst in many low budget movies where the villain or the bad guy is glorified by mass murdering in order to achieve his goal. And when all the revenge is built psychologically speaking the valiant hero or one of the survivor in this case, kills the supposedly bad guy with one bullet, leaving the unsatisfied lust in the mind of audience that was generated by the storyline where the bad guy was the angel of death. Seriously ??

    The movie is pure waste of time and resources.

    Dare you to waste 82 minutes of your life......

    ......that you can't ever get back 'cause of watching this festering pile of film making pus.

    Of all the movies made about special forces this has to be the worst ever,my Gran could have written a more convincing plot and my three year old son could have choreographed more believable fight scene tactics.

    If you're into SAS style movies give this one a miss as the producers, directors and script writers (who are now hopefully unemployed and unable to insult us with any more such clichéd tedium)should have stuck with 'my little pony''cause they obviously know chuff all about the military (unless of course their plan was to deliberately insult soldiers) with this brain meltingly unbelievable helmet cheese of a movie.

    I've never been motivated to write a movie review but when my senses have been so savagely insulted by such utter, 100%, undiluted excrement I feel it's my duty to warn others.

    Never thought a movie could be worse than 'Attack of the Killer Tomatoes', but this one is.

    AVOID THIS MOVIE AT ALL COSTS

    Good plot ruined

    The idea behind this film is good even if stolen from an old movie. Simon Phillips is about the only think that stopped me from walking out. The way the SAS is shown is a joke, didn't even get the uniforms correct let alone their standard operating methods. Sure some might say this doesn't matter but watch "Act of Valour" or "Special Forces" both much better movies. The acting in "Acts of Valour" was poor but much more watchable than this is because the special forces team are shown correctly. They apparently even used some ex-seal members. It doesn't look like they even did any research for this let alone consultant ex-members. Once again a lazy approach ruins a potentially great movie.
