I Am Soldier (2014)
Mickey Tomlinson, a military chef, attempts the most dangerous military selection known to man: The Special Air Service (S.A.S.) selection. The S.A.S. Is the United Kingdom's most renowned Special Forces Regiment, tasked with life threatening missions in some of the most dangerous places on the planet. Mickey has more military experience than simply being a chef, something he doesn't let on to the other candidates... Mickey is smashed by this selection process - his mind, body and soul scream for mercy as he endures torturous speed-marches over the steepest mountains, running for his life during 'Escape and Evasion' and then facing the most evil interrogation possible, during the deadly phase known as: 'Tactical Questioning.' Even after everything, there is still only one way you can really prove yourself: in combat... Many try to get into the S.A.S. Only the elite make it.

Just what I expected
I wanted to but couldn't!
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.
What a stunning film. Coming from a military and have gone thru Ranger training I found this to be the most realistic protral of REAL human being going thru adverse training conditions Ur reviewers most of this including IMDB HAve never attended any real solidiers have missed the whole point. u want to see real soldier not Rambo or supermen watch this movie
Question: Is there any way to watch a movie these days without some kind of Jewish propaganda splattered all over it? Movie Quote: "Krav Magra is the single best unarmed combat fighting technique in the history of the world ... and that's what we (I..e. SAS) use"LOL ... or some-such nonsense. Whatever the exact quote, I think puked in my mouth a little. Apparently, the finely tuned Israeli fighting art of "Flailing While Running Away" is now the SAS' exclusive fighting system. It's like the entire movie industry's 'needle' is permanently stuck on the almost cartoonish fiction of "The Inglorious Bastards" ... FOREVER.Anyway, that laughable quote (above) ... immediately followed the equally laughable scene ... during a SAS training session ... where a 110 lbs scrawny-looking woman (an female SAS instructor? OKaaay then)... punched senseless ... a 245 lbs (presumably) well-trained and thickly muscled young man ... and then submits him ... in under 15 seconds flat. It is exactly at this point in the movie, as I was smoking my Cuban cigar ... and surfing the Heckler & Koch website ... when I realized what kind of ride I'm in for (if I dared finish this farce on the British SAS).Well, I dared ... And I was right. Suffice to say it was all downhill from there on. Ronnie Thompson should seriously consider a new vocation.
I didn't expect much but for some unknown reason wanted to give it a go after reading a handful of positive reviews. The movie starts out OK, with a pretty decent depiction of the SAS selection, some even shot on location in Hereford but then "Mickey" receive his beret and its all downhill from there (about last 10 minutes of the movie). Skipping years of following jungle training, arctic training etc he is thrown straight into action when Carters team is ordered to take down a terrorist cell, complete with some hand-held nuke/dirty bomb gizmo... The assault is so unprofessional and uninterestingly filmed that I first thought it must be some kind of training but no. I was left with a feeling of "What just happened?" It was like somebody had throw in some action shot by some high-school-YouTube-home-movie-makers at the end after the filming had ended and it made it through the distribution process without anyone noticing.
Before I even went near this movie I read all the reviews and saw the rating so I started off with very low expectations, because the reviewers on IMBT are never wrong, right? LOL what a joke.This turned out to be quite an enjoyable movie, nothing special, but not too shabby either. Most of the cast put in a good effort and it was good to see all the familiar faces (UK TV fan here).While the some of the fighting near the end could have been done with improved choreography, for me it didn't really detract from the overall movie.If you are going to see this don't expect too much, if you are looking for an over the top Hollywood blockbuster, give it a miss, you will be disappointed. If you are looking for a semi realistic 90 minutes of entertainment watch it.Overlook the rating, this is better than a 4/10 movie. I gave it a 10 to counteract all the undeserving 1s. It deserves at least a 6/10.
