tkearns17 OK, while this is a great guy flick, (guns, explosions, etc) it is a horrible military film. They keep referring to Tyler Christopher's character as "Captain" when his correct rank (according to both NAV Reg's and the railroad bar insignia on his collar) is Lieutenant. his number 2, would either be a Lieutenant J.G or and Ensign. There's just one more problem, Tyler Christopher's character also informs his CO that he intends to murder their guide. Not that I have a problem with killing terrorists, but still, come on. Another problem is, there is no USS Truman. The USS Harry Truman is an Aircraft Carrier, not a Battleship. Also, Battleships are named after states, not Presidents.

gridoon2018 Shot in English with a largely Bulgarian crew, "Frogmen" is a fair medium-budget commando-type action film. The script has one good plot twist in the middle, and tries to make the main villain at least two-dimensional, by giving him a motive of personal revenge (instead of mere greed) for his terrorist actions. The cast is largely unknown (though apparently the lead has been a regular in "General Hospital" for 13 years!), but they do their job. The action itself is mostly by-the-numbers (and the underwater sequences suffer, as usual, from the limited visibility), but the film certainly doesn't skimp on the explosions. Passable if forgettable fare. ** out of 4.

fisk-2 First of all, this is a movie with semi-realism, people actually die from bullets and on both sides. There's probably more "friendlies" dying in this movie than in any other U.S. stereotype-film.The movie is pretty straightforward, there are some weak attempts at trying to write subplots (ie. the world's most dangerous terrorist manages to be a part of the Seal Team (don't ask)) there's also the occasional "My wife got killed by americans"-whine, and "America is a murderer"... really strong motives.As for cinematography this is pretty bad, there are lots of jump-cuts, and there are some beginner's mistakes that make it look like a B-production. One thing that's pretty hilarious is that they've done a voice-dub when the seal-team is diving, I don't know, but when you're scuba-diving I find it hard to believe that you're able to speak in a radio, and the mindless things they say "Oh yeah!, I cut him", "I'm coming to help you guys" (when they're in the same cramped area.The acting is really subpar, which considering the really vivid imagery of explosions tells of a costly setup. There's namely LOTS of explosions in this movie, the pyrotechnicians really had a great time.Some of the shots show really expensive effects (ie. they drive a couple of trailers off a cliff, one blows up, another one goes under the water), they sink a really big boat, etc.If you're really BORED and out of war-movies to watch, this can maybe (worst-case-scenario) be something to see. Otherwise, avoid it. Just fast-forward to the scenes with the explosions, and you might get 3-4 minutes of enjoyment from this.ps.The reason the rubber boat exploded, was because there was a case full of explosives in it.

fox_muldur I am proud to say that somebody finally produced a U.S. Seal movie (there have been 3 of them now!) that was actually worth anything. The first one was a complete sham and the second movie was absolutely the worst movie I have ever seen. But don't kid yourself, this is still a terrible movie.The fascination with beginning the movie with a LONG underwater scene has apparently not changed. The underwater fighting was bad in many ways, so lets go ahead and get it out: the audio was obnoxious at best, and was obviously the same clip of "I've got him!!! I need help!! (grunt, grunt)" on a loop for about a minute. You also couldn't tell who was on what side nor was the action particularly interesting - characteristics VERY COMMON with the original two. Pay close attention and you'll notice they go into the same hatch they went in the second movie! The whole reason the team fought underwater was because they were spotted from shore, well here's an idea - next time don't use a HUGE boat with 5 motors to "silently" approach the target.Somehow they end up in Albania and shoot a few UN soldiers (you would think that might anger the UN) and steal their truck. They then decide to raid a camp using the worst tactics - instead of attacking at night, they wait until broad daylight and about half the team dies. I won't bore you with the rest of the plot but honestly this movie had the LAMEST ending of all 3 movies. It is HILARIOUS to watch a small rubber boat blow up an entire tanker (akin to the jeep blowing up half the port in the second movie, or the car exploding in midair in the first).More problems:-The whole "Senators Son" plot simply did not work, not to mention it is hardly original.-When the head SEAL tells his commander he won't take the Senators son, he keep lowering his head between his shoulders until he looks like a complete moron, and he keeps saying "suh. no suh, I won't take him suuuuhhh.) VERY ANNOYING.-A problem this movie shared with the second one was VERY POOR DVD quality. Everytime a truck goes by it JERKS by, you can clearly see it go frame by frame in an unrealistic manner. The dubbing was also poor and frankly most of them had annoying voices in the first place.At least the second one was funny - this was just stupid. DO NOT WATCH
