Suffice to say I felt like I was watching Tom Hardy. Though his take on the legendary Northern Irish soldier is fictionalised, it is no less stellar and complex. But as Paddy Mayne, we see a different sort of soldier. Especially with his performances in 71, The man with the iron heart, and Unbroken. When you think of actors who are type casted as soldier or military men, O'Connor is definitely apart of that list. Each actor plays their respective role brilliantly, however O'Connor brings forth a performance like none he has done before. The trio of the Swashbuckler, Strategist, and straight jacket Maddog bash heads as they form the first SAS regiment in Libya behind Axis lines. The three Principal lead actors of Connor Swindles as the charismatic alcoholic toff David Stirling, Alfie Allen as the stern spiritual Welshman Jock Lewes, and lastly Jack O'Connor as the loud brash mad Irish Paddy Mayne. The look, style and tone of SAS Rogue Hero's match that of its Crime drama sister show. This action packed WW2 comedy drama is the product of Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight.
