U.S. Seals

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.

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'm not one to watch a lot of action movies. But, if I'm going to watch one, I'd prefer to watch someone like this guy to save the day...just like guys prefer to watch beautiful girls in movies, as opposed to fat, homely ones. Then to top it off, to watch this good-looking guy go after bad guys, because they killed his wife...that's what got me hooked. Any time a man defends his wife and kids, they've got me hooked. I'm not into any sort of fighting, without a strong cause. Going after the men that ruined his life, by killing the love of his life, is a good enough reason to me. The supporting cast was good too. I've seen the big bald guy in something recently. But the lead actor was handsome and wonderful. A good actor as well. I give this film a 10, on the females scale, for action movies.

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."
