A television re-make of AN OFFICER AND GENTLEMAN by the same writer.

This is a very good action film, and the chemistry between lead Gil Bellows and his sidekick Rahman, played by Anjul Nigam, is a true joy to watch. Nigam brings much charm to his character and enlivens the movie.

A Few Good Men. . .err, sorry, wrong service. . .

The paper-thin story of a cocky young naval officer who discovers himself and has an affair with the beautiful, betrayed wife of his commanding officer is just a smokescreen. The real interest in this movie is its surprisingly credible and detailed portrayal of Navy SEAL selection and training, which was far more authentic than the later and often silly "G.I. Jane".

Fine view of Navy Seals training. dopey romantic subplot...

If it weren't for a goofball romantic subplot ala Top Gun, then this would rate double what I gave it.

The whole detailed presentation of a company going through Navy Seals training from day 1 to graduation is well-realized and it's what makes the film. Pretty much a realistic portrayal.

The subplot of an affair between a recruit and the wife of the Seals CO is just plain dumb and unnecessary except to satisfy the girls who are watching. Pretty much an unbelievable, unrealistic event that detracts from the rest of the show. Just as unbelievable is that this same recruit drops out of the program one minute before graduation. Yeah, right.

Also, the paunchy CO climbing the rope drill with ease is obviously done with some sort of elevator/lift device out of view, and is laughable.

Goofs
In Nicolette Sheridan's love scene in the beach bathroom Gil Bellow takes off her top revealing the side of her breast and nipple. When they stop though, you can clearly tell that she is wearing pasties over her nipples.

Quotes
Rahman: Destiny is not a matter of chance; it's a matter of choice. It's not a thing to be waited for, it's a thing to be pursued. You are the master of your fate; the captain of your soul.
