U.S. Seals

I must admit, I knew this flicker was not the representation of real seals, however, I truly enjoyed the storyline of the flicker. Any time you can associate with the plite of persons, one can supplant themselves into the characters celluloid life.

Moreover, being one that toils behind a desk all day long futzing with numbers as an accountant would, it makes me relax to visualize exteriors from other parts of the world. I was truly amazed that this flicker was shot in Bulgaria, while it appeared as though it were the middle of Caribbean Sea and San Francisco. Surprising. The acting was genuine. The cinematography was well done. Moreover the action scenes were well done. Cheerio. Carry on.

Most of the films I have seen in school are always trying to be artsy-fartsy, right? I watch this movie and I see a simplistic yet emotionally involving film because of the subject matter. What would you do if someone killed your wife???? Hello? I would do what this character does, go after the SOB. I have to to say, I have not rented This actor's (James Fitzpatrick) other action movies, but if they are as good as this one, I will rent them all. I'm sure because the U.S.Seals are in a time of war with the terrorists, they would not want to reveal all of their tactics and strategies, but, I still like the fact of the story that the film takes us on a ride throughout Bulgaria, Turkey and parts of the United States. Good one guys.

One of the most memorable films ever made. No wonder they made 2 sequels - this is fantastic stuff!

I watched this whilst at Drama School and took a lot of tips from the actors on how to act in action films. We now hold six monthly screenings of US Seals just to keep us on the right track.

I've noticed its out on a bare bones DVD, can the director please bring out a special edition DVD with a commentary by himself and the cast, and just prove to the world how small budget action flicks rock!

I rate this 9/10 - a totally funky flick!

Now to watch the sequels - see if they live up to this!

I was in a Special Forces Unit in Nam. Our friendships we established were first and foremost, our primary reason for risking our lives. To defend each other...our country...our freedom. When the lead actor (Fitzpatrick) is faced with the murder of his wife, his friends step up to defend him. That's what we did.

No stars, no over the top heroics. Just realistic and practical. One of the very action films I've seen in my life time that were as eerily close as this one to being accurate. One can squabble over the dialogue throughout the film, but as with any story there has to be a set backdrop for characters to become real to us. You have to know a little about these guys before you can really feel for them. It's what movies have to do so we root for them. This particular film is truly a great one. The last scene depicts what every combat vet knows and feels, as we took to the battle field. Kill or be killed. Hunt, or be hunted. Live, or die...like our motto, "Kill'em all, let God sort'em out."

I wouldn't give this movie a 10, but I would definitely say rent it or buy it, because it's just plain fun stuff to watch. The actors are somewhat recognisable, but more importantly, you can tell that these actors hearts and souls are into it. They're not just walking through the film, and they were probably doing their own stunts. I'm a big fan of watching films without big stars, because big stars bore me with their mundane salaries. They don't give as strong a performance when they're rich. Go get'em boys.

If you really want to have some fun, have a couple cocktails first so that you're in the mood to kick somebody's head in, and then watch this movie. The story will take you to the brink of insanity.
