This film plays like a 2 hour summary of a 12 episode mini-series. It doesn’t work at all as a movie.
The premise is very intriguing and the film is actually supposedly a true story. Supposedly in the 70’s and 80’s a 17 year long covert war was waged between a deposed Omani Sultan and a secret group of former British Special Forces.
But ignore the movie. Just don’t see it. Pick up a copy of The Feather Men by Sir Ranulf Fiennes and find out what the story actually is.
The film is a silly waste of everyone’s time.
