"The Siege of Jadotville" valiantly fights to reclaim pride in a slice of Irish military history, but it seems to have ignored who those Irish were fighting for.
October 06, 2016
By highlighting the bravery of young soldiers at the mercy of external forces, The Siege of Jadotville acts as a powerful tribute.
September 19, 2016
A highly diverting film that rightly honours forgotten - and subsequently mistreated - heroes from Irish history.

You can't really fault a film for a lack of ambition if it doesn't pretend to have any in the first place, can you?

Good 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.

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.

The 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.

If 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.

The battle scenes alone make this solid and well-paced film worth watching.

The Siege of Jadotville is dramatically inept and viscerally shocking. Thankfully, we still have history books.
