🍺🍺🍺 Three Beers - Entertaining movie, prefer to rent or stream instead of pay the premium at the theater. Three beers to keep a buzz while enjoying the movie.
IMDB summarizes the movie, "In 1961, the UN sends an Irish peacekeeper troop commanded by Commandant Pat Quinlan to Katanga, in Congo, to protect the inhabitants of the mining town of Jadotville in the beginning of a civil war. Meanwhile the UN advisor Dr. Conor Cruise O'Brien launches a military attack named Operation Morthor against the French and Belgian mercenaries. Soon there is a reprisal from the mercenaries and Quinlan and his men are left under siege by a huge number of Katangese and mercenary troops. Will the Irish soldiers resist the attack?—Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil"
Rotten Tomatoes Critics Consensus notes, "A highly diverting film that rightly honors forgotten - and subsequently mistreated - heroes from Irish history.."
Rotten Tomatoes Audience notes, "To my delight, "The Siege of Jadotville" is not the jingoistic "Zulu" remake I had expected. It's a perfectly suitable war film touching on politics and bureaucracy as much as heroism. Average to good acting with engaging battle scenes. It's worth your time, but don't expect to be moved very much."
Jerry's Review notes, "Liked the movie mainly because it brings to light a forgotten battle. Always liked historical movies. Not a blockbuster style movie with all cinematic scenes and crazy stop motion fighting. But, still able to tells it story without losing my interest. Good one to rent on a rainy day for the history minded."
