2.0 out of 5 stars Rent it, don't buy it, 13 Sep 2005
The ability of a camera crew to follow legionaires in training is fairly special. Unfortunately, the camera crew does not appear to have done enough background research to breathe into the documentary a true feeling of what it's really like in the Legion. There is no feeling of the elitism that goes with being a Legionaire, no 'explanation' of why people join the legion and/or what legionaires do once in the Legion. If the video was to track a select group of British recruits, more about the recruits themselves would have told us something about what was in their heads before, during and after they signed up. There is so much that could have been covered by the camera - and that the Legion would have been proud to have talked about or shown - and yet, it's not. I get the impression the camera crew and producer could have done with spending a few quid on a book or two about the Legion before showing up to start the documentary. Nevertheless, is it worth watching? For sure! Is it worth buying to keep? Sorry, no.

4.0 out of 5 stars Intresting...., 19 Jan 2006
Well if you are intrested in the subject Special Forces, then this DVD is for you. It tells you a story about a english ex soldier that enlists to the famous foregin legion in France.
You will get a glimse about the basic training and how hard the life in the legion is.
The only thing i missed was somekind of battle training, you will not see this kind of training in the DVD.
Intresting was however the djungle phase, where soldiers have mud up to their ears :)
Intresting DVD for the Special Forces Fan!
