Awesome, totally mind blowing non-stop action.  Those guys are all 100% hero. :cheersmate:

BTW, I didn't see a certain dummie taking part in the SEAL Team Seven action.   :???:

Tom in Tib wasn't there? Nooooo! Seal teams can't operate with TiT calling the shots.

OK, so was Obama in the film?

Thank God, NO!  It had no politicians in it, except the one who was killed by a scum sucking jihadi terrorist early on.  It was fantastic watching all the bad guys get blown away.  And the movie itself was almost like you were in it, not watching it, it was so realistic.  Now I get why my son went to see it two nights in a row.

Of course, there was some idiot woman in the audience who kept gasping, crying out LOUDLY and overall making a general ass of herself.  Unfortunately she was seated in the same row as my husband and me.  I don't know why she even came to see the movie unless she was dragged to it, because, good grief, it's a real life depiction of some serious shit.

Mrs E and I saw the movie last weekend. Concur with Boudie -- great action sequences, pretty much nonstop. Roger Ebert, in his review, was complimentary even though he acknowledged the action scenes as being continuous.

One mission is held in Costa Rica and the other in some 3rd world shithole, most likely Iraq or Afghanistan. If you like miniguns on small boats, cars that explode, grenades that go off (sometimes unfortunately) and teary-eyed wives of SEALs that wonder if their man is gonna come home whole and live instead of in an aluminum box, you'll like this one.

Real SEALs instead of actors. Gotta love that.

My son really wants to see this, he's only 11. So I think I'm going to have to see it myself first. Glad to hear good things about it.

I don't remember, exactly. Mighta been Mexico. Somewhere down there. The storyline isn't impact by the "where", only the "what" and how many bad guys (and good guys) are gonna die.

From how you guys have described it sounds very propagandistic.

I will not watch it but will give my review now: two thumbs down.

Why Cyrus! How unusual for you to speak authoritatively about something about which you have zero experience! How out of character!

Open mouth, insert foot. Or two thumbs -- take your choice.  :lmao:

Cyrus, your ability to absorb new ideas and question them in the process of developing your own is matched only by your profound ignorance in things of a military nature.  :whatever: 

Why don't you come back and comment after you've served a while in uniform? Until then, STFU.
