ahowroyd I can watch rubbish and still enjoy it. I lasted 40 minutes before turning off. I cannot find anything right about the film. The script is clichéd and looks and totally lacks a proper storyline. It looks cheap and unrealistic. None of the SEALS would last 10 minutes in a war zone. What a shame as the first film was brilliant. This is a total insult to the franchise. There are no spoilers in this review as I am sure everyone would struggle to watch such dross. There is better action in a power rangers episode so don't waste your time. I would suggest watching Platoon, Full Metal Jacket or any other war film. This film makes Battleship look good.

baergy The movie is about a group of Navy Seals that have to rescue a white lady somewhere in Africa who has information about Al Queda and uranium mines. This is followed by gunfights and explosions and a pretty predictable set of twists in the story line. The cover picture shows Tom Sizemore, a decent actor known for playing gruff military types in Saving Private Ryan and BlackHawk Down as well as a handful of other A list high budget films. He's never the lead actor but usually the right hand man or best friend of the lead. The cover art has him in military gear, rifle at the ready and looking like most of the characters he plays. His name has first billing in the details for the film. But he's not the main guy. He's the one sort of well known actor that you shell out some extra money to get in your film so that you can have one recognizable face on the cover of your DVD so some poor fellow like myself gets suckered in and says, "I know him from Saving Private Ryan and BlackHawk Down, I'll give this film a chance". For the record this is not the first second or even third time I've been drawn into a movie in this way, Val Kilmer owes me dearly for time spent watching Dead Man's Bounty. Don't touch that movie unless you absolutely have nothing better to do and are looking to punish yourself in the worst ways. Back to Seal Team 8. Tom is not the lead, he is the old commander that looks at large TV screens of satellite footage in a hanger someplace and says things like, "we don't leave our men out to dry" or "I don't care about rules/ orders those are my boys out there", and in that capacity he does alright. The movie itself is as generic as they come. This is the movie that was made after someone watched Tears of the Sun, Blood Diamond and Black Hawk Down back to back and thought they could take a stab at a movie about American Special Forces in Africa. Throughout the film my subconscious was logging which scenes were copied or very slightly changed from the other films listed above, and that works out to just about half the film. The dialogue is pretty weak and consists of all the usual military terms that you hear in war movies like " cover me" and "tangos at 3 O'Clock" but seemingly thrown out at random with no reaction from the Seal team mates being communicated with. The special forces guys also communicate stealthily using hand signals and again things aren't quite right. The only gesture used in the film is a closed fist pointed in various directions, and seems to mean take cover, flank them, suppressing fire, follow me and just about every other thing under the sun. On top of this, that stealthy closed fist of communication is often returned with a quiet shattering half shout that lets me, the perplexed viewer know just what exactly that last fist was telling these fellows to do. The Seal team takes time to stand in the open and huddle backs to the enemy while under fire, to talk, or mourn Bubba's untimely passing. They kneel and impart words of comfort and conduct themselves in just about every way that may get you shot if people are shooting at you. Slow motion is used in this more than the Matrix or any John Woo film but not to highlight anything cool or dramatic. It's just used. If a guy stands or ducks or steps slow motion is thrown in. Machine gun firing? Slow motion of spent casings is a must. It feels as though there was an electrical issue with the camera and the slow mo feature just randomly flicked on and off throughout. All of this is not the worst part of the film. I can be, and often am, completely happy to watch movies that leave my brothers in awe of my ability to check my brain at the door. The worst part of this film is that it takes itself seriously. It wants to be taken on the same level as Saving Private Ryan. But it also really wants to be a cool action movie and just fails so completely at both. Now having completely badmouthed this film I have to give it some quick pieces of praise. One, the aerial shots of landscapes are quite good. Two, they did not use any of that shaky camera nonsense you can clearly understand what you're watching even if that something is a mess, three, of all the things they got wrong with this film at least most of the actors did maintain proper trigger discipline. As the owner of firearms that is something I can't help but see in every film I watch and I was surprised to see this mess of a movie get that right when most movies of any budget get it wrong. Finally if you have friends over and want a movie to laugh at, mock, or talk over and aren't fussy, this may actually be a fun one to catch

seneraimbulana movie started with shooting and ended with shooting.The acting is really not that great, Tom Size more does not convince me, and brings little to the table. He's just walking around swearing a lot looking at a screen, and then he swears some more. looks like fantasy. This is not only bad acting and poor visuals but being retired Navy it pisses me off that because of the situation the world is in today someone thinks they can just throw Navy SEAL into a movie title and make money. To the writers of this pure POS, do some research before you decide to write a movie about something you have no clue about. For the company that bought the script and decided to it into a movie. You may want to rethink your life if you think this is what a movie should be. again I'm telling you You are wasting your time.

david-rivera-988-611252 When I first seen the title and cover of DVD I was impressed, but like most other reviewers I feel this movie was pretty bad. The action was too fake. Also, it took more than half the movie to put all the plots together. Even though it was only one and a half hours I had to stop watching it a few times as I lost interest. I would say this was a mix of a cheap sci-fi and action movie. No wonder it didn't make it to theaters and went straight to DVD.The ending was dragged out a bit too long and for me it was not to conclusive. I think they could have given the viewer a better understanding as to what happened with the characters etc.
