This is the story of the operation leading to the capture
and killing of Osama Bin Laden.
Told from the point of view of the soldiers involved it
boasts a cool cast including TV stalwarts Robert Knepper (Prison Break,
Heroes), Anson Mount (Hell On Wheels) and William Fichtner (Prison Break,
Invasion).
The story moves along quickly enough and covers the
political side of things too but the video game view often used when the
soldiers are training or on assignment is quickly headache inducing.
The films strength is the use of the soldier’s family lives
to present a more rounded picture of the people involved. This helps elevate
the whole thing from standard direct to DVD fare to something which justifies
its limited UK cinema release.
Code Name: Geronimo is available on DVD & Blu-ray in the
UK from 24th December 2012.
Ric’s Rating: Good.
