Navy Seals - Pagati per morire

This was a really good movie with style, action, and amusement! I'll never forget it 'cause Michael Biehn is my favorite actor. Even though he played very well in Terminator, he played much better in this movie! He stopped showing his jaw as much! Anyway, I got sucked into the story quickly but the only bad part was that they brought some stuff up out of no where!!! Besides that, it's a movie that u've gotta see!

Like the previous person's comments, this was like the "Top Gun" on the ground. He just forgot to also mention that it was also done in the Sea and in the Air. I feel that it was similar also to Chuck Norris' Delta Force; however, it was alot more realistic. Well, the actors in this film did a wonderful job of portraying the actions of the elite Navy SEAL teams. This movie should serve as a testament to the courage and valor displayed by all of the great Special Operations and Special Forces teams of the Armed Forces. The characters were really believable and the script was top-notch. Those who are from the Hampton Roads area of Virginia (like myself) will definitely notice many of the stateside locales. You could definitely watch this movie over and over again! It definitely provides a boost of adrenaline to all couch potatoes and action junkies, not to mention any of those who have either served in the military or were born in military households like myself!

If you're interested in seeing Charlie Sheen in one of his most coked up, one-liner driven performances, I highly recommend this film (if not you have problems) Also, behold the greatest, and only action-movie/golf-course hijinks scene of all time. This of course leads directly to Sheen in hot pursuit of his towed convertible while riding a Schwinn. Pure NAVY Seal adrenaline.

As far as some action films go, "Navy Seals", the 1990 film directed by Lewis Teague, doesn't deserve most of the criticism that some contributors to this forum have expressed. While it doesn't add anything to the genre, it is a movie targeted to a certain audience, who will no doubt react to it.

On the other hand, watching it on cable the other night, it proved to be the entertainment it's meant to be and nothing more. Let's hope the real Navy Seals will be more selective in picking someone that is as misguided and egocentric as Lt. Hawkins, who disobeys his orders and causes the death of a man that shouldn't have died.

This film appears to be a vehicle for Charlie Sheen who was at the height of his intense period. Michael Biehn plays the man in command, Lt. Curran with flair. Joanne Whalley is seen only briefly. The rest of the cast, notably, S. Ephata Merkerson and Dennis Haysbert contributed to make the film better than it is.

All in all, this is a film for action fans with not a lot of expectations.

Michael Biehn's character said during the movie in a training montage that only 10% of recruits get to become Navy Seals. Remember that 90% of Navy Seal candidates are not good enough and fail the training.

In this movie there are three actions scenes. The first they are required to go in silently and extract some hostages and get out quietly without a shot fired. They are successful in doing this. Until Charlie Sheen's Character pulls out a pump action shotgun and shoots down a door with three shots for no other reason than he wanted everyone outside to hear them for a gunfight to kick off as he was craving an adreniline rush.

He causes directly a fellow Navy Seal to be shot and killed in this op. But because this was an unknown character at this point nobody seems to care and its just next day who cares.

Second mission, once again they need to silently extract someone without anyone hearing. This is all going to plan until Charlie Sheen's character wants a gun fight again so walks up to the enemy shooting him. He directly causes a second Navy Seal to be killed. Now cue 15mins of everyone being full of sorrow and teary eyes for this guy dying as he was known in the film up until that point.

Third mission, they need to quietly blow up a building. Charlie Sheen's character decides to shoot someone with the loudest hand gun he takes from his back pocket - when he has silenced gun on him already - and ruins that op too as everyone hears it and starts shooting. The main leader gets shot and is down for dead and Charlie Sheen disobeys further orders to just blow the building and to go in and get him out so they cannot blow the building till he does this.

This is meant to be the Navy Seals. And he is somehow the second in command of the team and any Navy Seal wouldn't want this guy coming within 500 miles of them as he seems to want to get killed everyone of his team mates and never follows orders. And yet he is deemed the hero of the movie. This guy ruined the movie for me as he was so annoying. It would have been a good movie with all the others but his character in it.
