On Christmas Eve, the prime ministers daughter (Christina Bellavia) is kidnapped, along with some of her friends. They are taken to an underground parking/office complex which is made secured. A team of SAS go into the facility to confront the bad guys, who are every bit as proficient as them. Tom Benedict Knight leads the SAS group. However the reason to watch the film is the dark comedy of sociopath Simon Phillips who holds people hostage, gives them hope, then a bullet.There are grindhouse moments in the film with few slow scenes. The downfall of the film is the reason for the whole operation and the generic class warfare speeches spewed by Phillips toward the end.Parental Guide: F-bombs. No sex or nudity.

When there are some great independent film makers out there, struggling to get funds, how does something as bad as this even get made? It can't even of looked good on paper can it? No real actors, not even moonlighting soap stars, a plot that just doesn't make any kind of sense and the SAS made to look like they learned their moves from a YouTube teenage kung fu submission. The SAS look incompetent in this, always having time to give moody looks and exposition while they are waiting for one of the bad guys to just shoot them and put us out of our misery. Out hero always seems to think punching someone is a better plan than shooting them. Just dreadful and yet it looks like someone gave them a lot of money to make this. What a waste.

I've seen some bad films in my life and this ranks up there with the worst of them.The lead villain over acted so much, he was almost good, he probably has potential if he had a better film to act in.I was a bit confused at first that I was watching some sort of GCSE media studies project, if that was the case, I might have given it a C...... But it wasn't, I'm really angry with myself for watching this the whole way through, should have gone with with gut instinct and quit after 30 secs.Nonsense story, plot holes all over the place, extremely am dram acting, massive thumbs down. Half a star!

Simon Phillips bad guy Holt is very good with some very funny moments and gives the film it's only redeeming feature. A complete insult to the Special Air Service and if I were the director I'd avoid all pubs in the Hereford area. The Raid meets Die Hard might be what was intended but to say it falls short is over stating it. If you read any reviews that score this more than 4 I would think the reviewer has family involved in the film. *spoilers* Look out for the Helicopter which lands by a massive hanger in an airport a 30 second walk from a car park in Central London. A car park rigged to explode but the local Indian takeaway across the road isn't evacuated and in fact people are still allowed in to pick up their orders. Two separate workplaces that entrances and exits are only through a multi story car parkand on and on and on......
