exellent - Age of Heroes review by CP Customer
danny dyer does it again in a spectaculer ww2 drama.
a bit dry footed in some scenes but otherwise exellent.
it show you how the royal marines in ww2 against the 5th alpine division was to have taken place.
there fore i give my rating a 4 out of 5 as it was spectaculer but not as good at first thought.

Danny Dyer plays Danny Dyer in Danny Dyer war film - Age of Heroes review by PV
A derring-do tale, with plenty of stereotypes. Mot sure all the stuff re the operation is true or not. Certainly the Battle of Norway 1940 is too much forgotten even though it mattered greatly re German decision not to try and invade Britain in the summer of that year.
Danny Dyer is one of those actors who always plays himself - Michael Caine is arguably the same, so fine. But Danny with his same late 20th C London accent and words - 'innit??' - is so not 1940, innit? Ahe even uses the word 'f-aggots' - which did not even start to enter British English until well into the 1980s or later. If you do not think such things matter and just want a shoot em up war film then you'll like this.
James D'arcy good as ever in his role - seen him in many an Agatha Christie Miss Marple on TV.
A shame some characters seem to fade out and vanish, so we do not know what happens to them.
The main baddie Nazi could be been focused on more - he is underused and lost in the big bang war stuff happening.
But passable so 3 stars
