Sean Bean and Danny Dyer are outlaws of a different kind in this corny World War II actioner about ‘30 Commando’, an “elite smash and grab unit” set up by Ian Fleming (who he?) for search-and-destroy missions behind enemy lines.
Whether the real regiment would have recruited an insubordinate lout like Dyer’s Corporal Rains is up for debate.

Two sequels are planned, God help us.
