Based on a true
story, Simon Murray is from Britain, he wanted to get married but his girl
is marrying someone else. He joins the French Foreign Legion in North
Africa
and finds it much different than he thought. The training is brutal,
physical and physiological cruelty, harsh conditions and not enough
food. There isn't much choice, once you've signed the paperwork you
have to survive, there is no leaving. It seems everyone has a different reason for being
there.This is a 2012 release, probably offered again because of the recent high profile roles of Tom Hardy (Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, Warror, This Means War, The Dark Knight Rises). This is good until the end, I thought the end seemed like a quick finish or a cop out? Based on a true story though? 3* (This movie is OK)
90 min, Drama directed by Martin Huberty with Paul Fox, Tom Haardy, Kate Maberly, Altor Merino, Felicite Du Jeu, Yorick van Wageningen, Bruno Munoz-Rojas, Javier Alcina.
Note: Blockbuster 3*, imdb 5.2 out of 10, no critic review 40% audience on Rotten Tomatoes.
