Leave your thoughts about The Siege of Jadotville.
| RTÉ (Ireland)Laura DelaneyThe Siege of Jadotville is a fitting tribute to the extraordinary courage and heroism shown by the 35th Battalion 'A' Company, and for that and many reasons beside, the movie deserves a salute. |
| We Got This CoveredRobert Yaniz, Jr.Though it doesn't break any new ground, The Siege of Jadotville is a well-crafted piece of filmmaking that investigates the often-contentious relationship between politics and war. |
| Los Angeles TimesRobert AbeleA scrappy war flick with a fair amount of combat suspense but a whole lot of clichéd dialogue. |
| Irish TimesDonald ClarkeA highly diverting film that rightly honours forgotten - and subsequently mistreated - heroes from Irish history. |
| Under the RadarStephen MayneIf only a little more attention had been paid to something beyond the whiff of gunpowder. Shorn of context, it's like playing a first person shooter in endless survival mode. |
| Hollywood ReporterKeith UhlichGood intentions only take us so far, of course. Whenever Smyth moves away from the battlefield, the film is on shaky ground, with the near-comical scenes involving Strong's cowardly subordinate a real low point. |
| User ReviewJax RExcellent movie! So glad thIs was made as I had never even heard of this part of history. Thanks Netflix. Thoroughly recommend |
| User ReviewRandy DExcellent movie! So glad thIs was made as I had never even heard of this part of history. Thanks Netflix. Thoroughly recommend |
| User ReviewAnze BWasn't expecting much but it was a great show. Made me go look up the battle which was fairly accurately portrayed by this film. Netflix just proved they have some movie making chops in my book! |
| User ReviewArvind RGripping because it is based on a true story... Unbelievable leadership - not a single Irish soldier lost his life in a 5-day siege! |
