At the time I did not have a Reg.2 player so I was extremely disappointed that I couldn't see it. When I was able to see it, I realized why my friends had recommended it. First, it is another Tom Hardy gem, though one of the British Foxes plays the lead and is very, very good.The plot of the movie is suspenseful. You will never suspect what occurs at the end. The unrequited love angle seems almost an afterthought, tho the movie is based on a real story. It tells of the French Foreign Legion (into which no French men are allowed!) during the Algerian struggle for independence. Simon (the "Deserter") sees both sides of the struggle and wonders why, in a land so large, Arabs and Europeans cannot live together. Like they had done for generations. Poor Simon, he is so naive one thinks he will not make it out of boot camp. But he is befriended by DuPont (Hardy) and learns through him how to be a soldier and survivor. This is a terrifc movie, another indie, and I would get a copy of it before it goes out of print in both continents. It's worth it. ### ⭐⭐⭐ it was ok *by J***I on Reviewed in the United States on February 1, 2016* hello, it never amazes us that people go through stuff in the military. it is just awful, but, it takes certain people to do it. does it make better soldiers? that remains to be seen. sometimes one wonders if the awful training causes more damage than expected. this movie shows that torture and it makes a dreadful result. war movies show people in the most stressing moments, but you wonder if the results are worth it. tom hardy has improved in the most recent movies that he has been in, but this one starts his persona in the other movies. brooding is a good word to describe the character. was the movie good? it was ok. yrmv ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Thoughtful Look at Soldiering in the Foreign Legion *by B***E on Reviewed in the United States on September 19, 2015* This movie was absolutely great in the fact that it wasn't a soapbox for something. Englishman Simon Murray joins the French Foreign Legion after being turned down by the British Army during the Algerian struggle for independence. Like many Simon is running away from his past.Murray's story reports on his five years in the Legion in French dominated Algeria. What sets this story apart is Murray's desire to learn about his host nation and their traditions.Having have spent a good many years in the military, the representation of the camaraderie is spot on. A soldier is only as good as his weapon and the man/woman at his or her side. Enjoy this movie knowing the vast majority of it if NOT Hollywood. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/190462037-deserter-2002-simon-an-english-legionnaire-non-usa-format-pal](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/190462037-deserter-2002-simon-an-english-legionnaire-non-usa-format-pal) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-09-03*
