Movie Review: The Siege of Jadotville
« on: July 03, 2017, 11:45:13 AM »
Watched this movie twice in two days.  First after she went to bed, then again last night after she showed interest in it.  We both liked it.  Kinda flew under the radar for me and did not know about it until just this week.

True story about a little know incident in 1961.

Should interest those that like history and military stories (especially those that have an affection for the FAL).

Political angle appealed to herself, while the military angle made the movie for me.

Course language, violence, no sex and from what I read pretty close to as historically accurate as probably any move out there can be.
