Just watched the movie telling the story of the Iranian Embassy siege in London in 1980. Movie was good IMHO and seeing some of the old school SAS gear was really cool. It was rather weird to see how much England has changed from then to now in dealing with terrorism. The movie portrayed Thatcher and the government taking a hardline on terrorism. I wonder if an attack would be authorized in today's atmosphere.
The story on Wikipedia 6 Days on IMDB Leader of SAS at Embassy Siege |

Just watched it on Amazon.
Very good. Inevitably will be compared to Final Option, but 6 days is far more realistic. The movie concentrates on the planning and rehearsals for the assault. It also ratchets the tension up every time they stage for the assault but stand down instead. Not a shoot'em up. |
