I watched this a while ago, not bad, it's not overly dramatised and focuses on the action around Jadotville with little asides to tell some of the bigger picture. The action scenes are pretty straight forward and not over the top. Well worth watching.
Excellent film, very close to the actual events. I read the book ten years ago and was mightily impressed with Quinlan's boys - even if they did fight on the wrong side ;)
