Review – The Final Option

The actual story of the Special Air Service's raid on the Iranian embassy in London would have made a much more interesting movie. Instead, this is a crass attempt to cash in on the publicity surrounding the daring real-life rescue mission to plug a mediocre action picture. The raid itself is entertaining, but that's only the last 15 minutes of the movie. The rest is tedious nonsense about a former commando inserting himself as a mole in the ranks of a stupid pack of anti-nuke liberals who don't seem like they could organize a performance art piece let alone a serious terrorist attack. Overall this left me wondering if such opponents were even worth the attention of an elite fighting unit. The movie was released on the other side of the Atlantic as Who Dares Wins, the motto of the SAS. Mildly amusing
