英雄时代2011

30号突击队（No. 30 Commando），以及特种空勤服务小组（SAS）都是彪炳史册的英国精英部队，他们的训练、战斗的故事都被数次改编，以各种形式出现在文学、电影、话剧和游戏之中。很多当年叱咤风云的人物或变成了历史、或变成了文字、或变成了偶像。

Age of Heroes follows the exploits of Corporal Rains (Danny Dyer) as he is inducted into the newly formed 30 Commando unit in World War II. Rains and the rest of the platoon are put through intensive training under the watchful eye of Major Jones (Sean Bean), where their skills and endurance are pushed to the limit as they prepare for their first highly classified and dangerous mission: to parachute into occupied Norway and capture deadly new radar technology from the Germans which could change the outcome of the war.

The newly formed band of brothers are joined in their task by local insurgent Steinar (Aksel Hennie) and beautiful spy Jensen (Izabella Miko). All their lethal commando skills are put to the test as they attempt to rescue Norwegian villagers, escape fierce gun battles and attain the radar technology from Nazi commander Teichman (Eric Madsen). Their plan is thrown into crisis when their pick-up is delayed and they must fight their way to the border of Sweden. With the Nazis desperate to hunt them down and stop them, the commandos realise how important their mission is to the war effort, as the fate of the Allies' advance into Europe rests in their hands. After a long trek in the snow the commandos try to re supply by exploring a farm which unfortunately is shown to be empty. To make things worse the Germans catch up with them at the farm with one of the commandos captured alive during an earlier fire fight. The Germans ask for their surrender in exchange for the life of their captured friend as well as their own. However the commandos refuse to surrender and choose to fight to the end and open fire on the Germans and this begins an intense fire fight. The spy Jensen and the liaison are ordered to rush to Swedish border while the rest of the commandos provide cover for them to escape. Eventually Major Jones realizes that there are too many of them and they do not have enough ammo to hold out much longer. So he orders commandos Rains and Steinar to run for the border while Major Jones along with fellow commando Mackenzie stay to cover them however they are not seen again after been shown continually firing and suppressing the Germans it is presumed that they are overrun and killed or taken captive. The Germans catch up to Rains and Steiner retreating and Steinar is shot and killed. With no ammo, Rains prepares to use his knife to kill himself so the Germans cannot torture the truth out of him. However before he does Jensen and the liaison return and kill enough of the pursuing Germans to allow the three of them to escape. Eventually after eluding the Germans they make it to Sweden having achieved their objective though it cost the lives of five commandos. The last scene shows the two surviving team members and Jensen heading down a hill into Sweden.

这年头还有人拍二战片的确让人惊讶。名字很霸气，给人鸿篇巨制的错觉，但事实上是讲述一个英国突击小队的故事。他们要深入挪威敌占区破坏德军的一个雷达站，在《加里森敢死队》的年代，这是个好题材。可是到了公元2011，离登船时间只有区区五六百天还演这种故事想必有独具匠心的剧情吧？
果然，飞机出发不久就被击中，画面切换后，只剩下孤零零的主角RAINES躺在雪地里。我猜测后面会拍成孤胆英雄绝地大反攻的爆裂场面！没等我继续发挥想象，RAINES的队友们一个个出现了。队长是《指环王》《权力的游戏》里面无比悲催的肖恩·宾，看看他拿司登冲锋枪会不会比骑士剑运气好些？（电影中英军人手一把美制汤姆森冲锋枪，汗。。）
突击小队无惊无险来到德军“居住地”，然后发起攻击，冲入一个木房子，取得最新雷达设备、资料，全身而退，顺带把雷达基站炸掉。德军除了“啊！”“啊！”摆出各种造型倒下动作，没有任何表现，甚至无人追击。。
意外还是出现了，接应潜艇没有了，大家要步行两三天去瑞典。食物不够，突击小队决定到附近的一个乡村补给，不巧遇上了德军党卫军。一番激战，损兵折将，身经百战的特种兵主角RAINES在一名队友被击毙后陷入癫狂。。。补给也没有得到。弹尽粮绝的RAINES一度被迫自杀，得救后无视眼前的三把MP40，赤手空拳跑路！我正在为他的气节震精。。话说最后三名队员（肖恩·宾再一次悲催了。。）在下一个画面猛然出现在瑞典边境，猛然出现字幕。。我猛然发现--game over了！

    7.5分。
    从场面来看还是不错，前面的铺垫戏份够足够大气；也许是制作费用还是什么原因限制，片子拍摄的太短，没有把故事说完就匆匆结束，前面铺垫的戏份算是白费了，更可惜了非常不错的摄影。
    开场的上校似笑非笑的表情有些熟悉，原来是《权利的游戏》里面的史塔克大人。
    还算过得去的战争片，挺紧张的，军刀真是扣人心弦。
