A Breed of Heroes offers this unique blend of comedy and drama, capturing the absurdity of military life in 1971 Belfast. The tone is darkly humorous, yet there's an underlying sense of discomfort as these fresh-faced officers grapple with their reality. The pacing feels a bit uneven, reflecting the chaotic atmosphere of the time, and the script showcases a blend of black humor and poignant moments. The performances are solid, with a rawness that feels authentic. What stands out is how it uses the officers' mess rituals to highlight the absurdity of their situation. It's a snapshot of a specific era that doesn't shy away from the harshness of the conflict, making it a distinctive piece in the TV movie landscape.
