Slow pace in the most part of the movie.
A brilliant film that helped define a genre
Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
If you took away the stock footage and the slow motion and the long narration at the end of the film, there might be a film lasting 45 minutes. And if you took away the annoyingly confusing editing there might be a film lasting half an hour. And if you took away the poor acting you are left with...probably the opening and end credits. It doesn't seem like a film more a child playing with a digital camera. A team of Seals are dropped into Iraq to identify targets for bombing then on the way back encounter lots of trouble. Which could be exciting but it only irritates. Apart from the Master Chief who is given an endless back story the other Seals are difficult to tell apart. The music drones on with heavenly choruses that don't succeed in giving any emotional weight to proceedings. A struggle to get through.
There is nothing about this film that is good. The acting is bad, the dialogue trite and the direction and editing laughable.It tries for pathos and delivers something only the mentally retarded could possibly enjoy.It is supposedly based on a true story. God help us if special services soldiers are so wooden and inefficient.I have only scored this 1 as 0 isn't available. And the ending...........it just goes on and on with spoken words written by an idiot who specialises in cliché.Do not buy or rent.
Hope they don't use this movie as a recruiting film. "Navy SEALs" was bad, but this was worse. Whoever the 'Technical Adviser' was, he must have owned a Surplus Store and that's what they used to outfit the actors with 'combat gear' for the movie. New guy joins team as replacement. Continuity, gentlemen, continuity: IF you show the team take off to infiltrate an enemy area in a helicopter, the NEXT shot cannot have them HALO jump out of a C130. They never put on a parachute. They put on gas masks, then the next shot shows them diving off the ramp with a HALO parachute on (No rucksacks), then next shot shows them with parachutes and rucksacks in freefall. When they land in the water, (guess they lost the rucks) the gas masks (they were wearing on exit) turn into swim masks with snorkels. Wait for the 'dollar' movie show.
listen people do your self a favour and avoid watching this movie. the guns are without and triggers , the flashes and sparks are all computer generated , the explosions are all fake, the cut scenes are all copied from other ones and it has unnecessary things e.g they keep on showing the same building getting bombarded over and over again. there are pointless scenes and so unrealistic. the directors really did have a tight budget. so if you want to see this movie you might as well search it up in a search engine and watch it online. there is no point in buying dis movie or even renting it. i admit the acting was fairly good but there was no realism at all, as in one seen they had to save a kid from dying because he got shot. so obviously the seals would have medical packs or something because its obvious who would go into combat fully prepared and without field dressings, they know they are dealing with guns someone is bound to get shot. so if it was a real life situation they would've been fully prepared
