Yes I saw it last week on Netflix Raeullus. I am Irish and was a bit cynical about watching a film about Irish soldiers as I was expecting it to be a bit corny and full of clichés. But it was far better than I expected and is based on a true event. It starts off slow but the storyline and action gradually builds, and I would recommend it.

In the real incident in the Congo they were outnumbered 20-1 and five of them were injured. But they killed at least 300 and wounded one thousand before their ammunition ran out. Don't f**K with the Irish!
