U.S. Seals

I'm definitely what you might call a girly-girl. But when it comes to watching action movies, I love them. Call me a thrill seeker, or a girl who likes her men all sweaty and musclely...and sweaty. I have been a big fan James Fitzpatrick, ever since I can remember. My mom used to watch ALL MY CHILDREN, after we moved to the United States, and I would watch it with her. He is beautiful and handsome, I can't take it. The movie was okay. There was a lot of scenes that didn't interest me, but everyone that James was in I loved. I hope he reads this message, I am a big-big fan. I know he's married, but if he ever splits from his wife, I will be there.

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 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 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."

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!
