speaking as a former Canadian Soldier with two tours of duty in Afghanistan, there was nothing "real" about Hyena Road. It was a completely false depiction of how and what we did over there. From the general who dropped F-bombs left and right while dealing with the local government to the "Intelligence Officer" going out into Kandahar alone and hand-picking a sniper det for his own personal use, to the false depiction of the construction of Route Summit (the real name of the road they were building), there is so much wrong with this movie. The only thing they get right is the ramp ceremony at the end, and that's only because Paul Gross forced his movie cameras into an actual funeral for fallen Canadian soldiers. Please don't take Hyena Road as an accurate depiction of CAF operations or CAF soldiers in Afghanistan.
@DavidSmellie-s5y My comment was regarding the list of movies I mentioned, all of them, and the level of authenticity and historical accuracy the themes of the film showed. I found some of Hyena Road's attention to detail concerning kit, radio usage, and the look of the film to be fairly impressive. It is also a refreshing change from the likes of U-571, which is just a complete fairie tale. Or Argo, which completely downplayed Canadian involvement. Jadotville and Mosul in particular, were very good. Maybe it's just finally seeing Canadians be recognized that I enjoyed. Thank you for your comment.
As an Irishman, Jadotville is a stain on the senior echelons of the Irish armed forces. These guys were heroes and it took a very long time for them to be recognised. Seen most of these - 4 I haven't so I will be checking them out soon
The Bombardment is based on a true story of the RAF where asked by the Danish resistance to bomb Gestapo Headquarters as members of the resistance where being interrogated there The Gestapo where based in the Shell Building across from a Primary School Unfortunately the School was hit during the attack and many children killed . The Danes have never much to their credit blamed the RAF
Actually the school wasnt near the bomb target. But the first attack wave came in so low, that a Mosquito hit a pole at a rail yard and crashed at the school. The second wave took the burning wreck for their target and bombed the school.
"The War Below". Tunneling under the Huns? A good book for that is "A Storm in Flanders: The Ypres Salient, 1914-1918: Tragedy and Triumph on the Western Front Audible Logo Audible Audiobook - Unabridged Winston Groom". Groom also wrote "Forrest Gump". As for the tunneling and the explosions, "The explosion sent Germans and parts of Germans into the air." There were 19 mines dug, 17 went off. In the 50's another one exploded. There is one remaining mine. And, who doesn't like a good "Soldier of Fortune" story. "Jadotville is great. If you want more, may I recommend, "Congo Mercenary Audible Logo Audible Audiobook - Unabridged Mike Hoare (Author, Narrator)" "Soldier of Fortune" magazine lived off this man's reputation. Be advised, he sounds like your grandfather writing a post card.
You have left all the gems of Asia behind ... Yamato Tae Guk Gi Assembly Changji Lake 1 & 2 Eternal Zero The Stronghold for giving some examples. Without playing from Pakistan to Turquia without forgetting Israel, who also have a few.
All excellent movies. Great reviews. I really enjoyed Hyena Road. Canadian eh! As well as Mosel and Narvik: Hitler's First Defeat. I have been trying to find a WWII movie, looks like Scandinavian (?) a single name, I guess the name of the main character. I think it begins with an "S" (?). He is a loner, in the country and being harassed by a small German squad. I saw a brief clip in 2024 as a pay for view, Netflix or Prime. Do you have any idea what film I am referring to? Thank you.
The Ozzy's were the ones who did most of the tunneling Britts just took credit, most come from a little town called Ballarat, from the school of mines.
I saw Devotion at the theater. I was disappointed. It's not very action-packed. It's more about the struggle of black navy pilots in the airforce. To me, it felt boring. It also feels like another attempt for Hollywood to force wokeness down your throat. The 2012 Redtails or 1995 Tuskegee Airmen are way better. These movies have better stories, better action, better camaraderie, just better everything.

@@DavidSmellie-s5y I thought it was very poor tbh. Felt like it was very low budget

'Danger Close', true story - even though it seems like a Hollywood movie. Prob best War movie ever, after Saving Pte Ryan.
Siege of Jadotville really good, have watched that a couple of times. It's been on there for a minute.
Mosul whatta movies it is😱😱😱😱🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. Must watch movie
This was really helpful, respect the effort in putting this together

Some good choices Nice job
Siege Of Jadotville is criminally underrated. One of the best war movies around and never got the praise it deserves.
thanks for these movies! I already knew some of them but i just saw The Bombardment for the very first time... what a movie!

Siege of Jadotville is an awesome military war movie. Enjoyed and recommended it to many. From India
probably the best list I've seen in a long-ass time
You have left all the gems of Asia behind ...
Yamato
Tae Guk Gi
Assembly
Changji Lake 1 & 2
Eternal Zero
The Stronghold
for giving some examples. Without playing from Pakistan to Turquia without forgetting Israel, who also have a few.
These aren’t on Netflix are they ?
That is the subject.
Jadotville is great. Ill check out your other suggestions.
If you like 71 theres a decent film based on a true story called " 50 dead men walking" thats better simply cos its a true story IMO
nice list
I didn't much like Operation Mincemeat. I think the original The Man Who Never Was a better telling of the story.
I like your selections.yo top
Big fan of cingold 😊
Thank you! 🙏
Great list!

Mosul is a real gem. Incredibly realistic.
Interesting.
Siege of Jadotville was a great movie. It deserves the #1 spot.
The Wall
Hyena Road is on Amazon Prime in the U.K. at the moment
Don't waste your time
It's not a bad movie but be warned....it's about Canadians. Hello from Oz.
Hyena road isn’t on Netflix currently

Devotion suffered from long pauses in slow dialogue - it felt like it was 40 minutes too long
9Rota

no movie Netflix
The ONLY real life dogfight is in Dunkirk. All the others are childish CGI video game bs for the mentally inactive.
Where is that fuckin movie i didn't find 😡😡
Devotion... to the woke agenda
Devotion was absolutely horrible. Love good war movies but it came off more as pandering to the new woke disney crowd than anything else.
just checked and hyena road isnt on netflix anymore
Devotion is NOT on NF
