WOW! Yeah...WOW! I'm reminded of the scene from Armageddon when it was decided that it was easier to teach the oil riggers to be astronauts then it was to teach astronauts to be oil riggers. This movie is no different. The Active Navy SEALs in this movie are not great actors nor will they win any Shakespearean awards but when it comes to understanding the depth of what combat is all about this movie puts it over the top.
The movie is based on actual combat missions from the perspective of the SEAL teams in this movie. From the time the movie begins everyone understands that behind the iron clad exteriors are a group of men who have families but are faced with the duties of defending this country in situations most people will never hear about. The tactics employed by these men are incredible. In one scene you see the SEAL team rising out of the water having held their breath over long periods of time. Not one ripple or disturbance in the water..they simply rise our of the water with weapons in hand calm and slow.
Once in their elements these SEALs take the movie to a new level. Very quickly we begin to understand the humanity behind these men and the legend that comes along with being a SEAL. I highly recommend the movie. It gives us a great sense of appreciation for our military and the "missions" we'll never hear about. I think it's best leaving this review with a quote from the movie. As the film begins the SEALs are being introduced to the audience. The Senior is known as "Chief". As he is introduced the commentator simply says, "That's chief, we don't know a lot about him but what I do know is I wouldn't want to be interrogated by him." These are the men and women protecting our country and to them I pray for safety and thank them for their service
