I watched it last night, and thought that it was just, alright..Nothing special. In fact, I thought that it was a little cheesy, in parts. I knew from the first scene who was going to die. I really expected more, to be honest with you..Mike

Bought the blu-ray DVD combo pack and feel like I wasted $20.

No impressed at all.

I haven't seen it, but understood that the "actors" are the real deal, not hollywood actors.  I suspect that in their "day job", they don't need any golden statues to make them feel successful.

This is true, but I spent $6.00 on pay per view, and expected more..

One reason I did like it was because it did not have any big name movie stars in it. It was nice not seeing clooney, pitt or any other usuals.

i enjoyed the movie, no real actors, no played out scenes, in your face action, if you want real life action and people getting $30,000 or so a year to serve our country, watch it by all means, if you want $1,000,000 dollar actors, watch something else, i rented it on my DirectTV, and would watch it again, huh, i did

Finally got to watch the movie and let me say for a group of Seals whose real job is kicking butt and not acting, they delivered on true life action.
Guys, I am not sure if you may have picked up on this, but did you notice in the plot how it was really easy it could be for the cartell's and islamic terrrorist to get their bomb/s across the border into the U.S.
This to me spoke that the real war on terror is actually on our border within the United States. I was listening to someone on talk radio share how they live within a border state and they fear going outside because the mexican drug dealers regulate both sides of the U.S. border from the mountains. They even have the audacity to post signs warning American citizens that they control the area and if they are caught "trespassing" they will be shot. Why are we not fighting the war on terror on our borders?

Good movie :you_rock:

I'll have to rent it. My S-I-L is ex Seal, and have another daughter who just started dating an ex Seal, so I would like to see what it's all about in a less Hollywood version.

Let me commend all of you to read "Fearless."  I started a thread on it a couple of weeks ago.  It tells a remarkable story and sheds a lot of light on what SEALS go through to get there.

NRA TV did a show about the SEAL from Arkansas, Adam Brown.
