U.S. Seals

There isn't one war picture or Military themed film that I haven't seen at least two or three times a piece. I'm one of those Extremely Patriotic Soldiers that enjoys going after the bad guys. You mess with freedom and innocence, I'm coming after you! I absolutely and thoroughly enjoyed U.S. Seals! I was definitely enthralled with the possibility of a Terrorist attacking someone in my family, and what I would do to to them. These types of movies aren't made for pansies that are afraid of dying or defending. They make little love stories for people like that. This is definitely about getting even. And getting even with Terrorists is what it's all about. Go Seals...Go Delta...Go Rangers...Go Army...Go Navy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

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.

I couldn't believe it. It was as though I was watching a movie about my time in Grenada. It was close quarters. The fighting was always within a couple feet of contact. Of course this is movie about getting the bad guys. However, there is bad guys in every battle. Every war. No matter where you fight, you discover that the fighting, 99 times out of a 100, is hand to hand. While you're searching, you may even find yourself in the middle of an enemy's camp, and not know how you got there. The plot of hunting down the guy that killed the main actor's wife was a bit far fetched, but it didn't make me all insane. The main actor Fitzpatrick, besides being Irish like me, did a spot-on job. He was very believable. He was probably in the American Military at one time. So, I enjoyed the movie and I would say to you, rent it. You'll get a flash out of it. It's a ten for me.

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!
