Sean Bean and Danny Dyer as commandos. Age of Heroes has violent action sequences, grunts sticking it to the officers, endless shooting, evil Nazis, training and preparations, plans going wrong, untrustworthy female resistance fighters, blowing things up - I mean, come on, what’s not to like?
This is an unashamedly gung-ho boys’ own war film for the lads without any added levels of irony or revisionist naval gazing. This is a guys on a mission movie and the mission is to entertain. It goes in, gets the job done and pisses off before too many questions can be asked. A guilty pleasure and it runs out of steam at the end but I loved it.
