Supreme Cmdr Posted March 9, 2003 Report Posted March 9, 2003 Its better than I expected. Its pretty slow at the beginning but I liked the pacing. Unlike Black Hawk Down which is frantic through out. I'd have liked to have seen a better final battle engagement, but I don't think that would have been feasible given that it was only a single team of SEALs caught behind enemy lines and up against 300+ Nigerian soldiers. If you like war movies, you will love this one. Am gonna go see it again before it completes its run. 9.5/10
Epsilon 5 Posted June 22, 2003 Report Posted June 22, 2003 Just bought the DVD and watched it .. starts slow, but omg, it's deep, and cool both at once ... wow Tomorrow I'll be watching windtalker, 3-disc DVD collector's set
kodiak Posted June 22, 2003 Report Posted June 22, 2003 Yes, surprisingly good movie. And for those of you who don't like Bruce Willis (I know you're out there), don't worry, his role isn't the typical Bruce Willis kills everyone role.
Kevin Trotter Posted June 23, 2003 Report Posted June 23, 2003 SC speaks the truth, I really really liked this film. It don't hurt that Monica Bellucci plays the Dr. How can someone look so hot covered in mud and sweat? ...oh what am I saying?
kschang Posted July 1, 2003 Report Posted July 1, 2003 I'm with Race Bannon here. Monica Belucci is too good looking. A SEAL team is NOT meant for fixed firefights like that, which is exactly the way it went down. No Rambo "shoot a bazillion bullets at me and I never got scratched" action here... Though I would have thought they have more sniper or Claymores than that... and that scene where they just stood up and WALK FORWARD, guns blazing is about as ridiculous as I remember...
Epsilon 5 Posted July 2, 2003 Report Posted July 2, 2003 quote:and that scene where they just stood up and WALK FORWARD, guns blazing is about as ridiculous as I remember...That's called cover fire.
aramike Posted July 4, 2003 Report Posted July 4, 2003 Good movie. It was about the first war movie in recent history that actually promoted the neccessity of fighting occassionally. Most war movies are decidedly anti-war.
Guest Grayfox Posted October 26, 2003 Report Posted October 26, 2003 rented this one tonight to watch... wow. i thought it was pretty damn good. the final engagement is pretty much what i expected... and the nape... actually looked like WP but still whoo boy. quote:Though I would have thought they have more sniper or Claymores than that... and that scene where they just stood up and WALK FORWARD, guns blazing is about as ridiculous as I remember... they had 2 snipers... well one had a modded m-14 with a scope, the other looked like he was just using a scoped m4. two snipers is plenty for one team. as for the claymores, those things aint exactly light. theyre filled with ball bearings basically. what they deployed in the field was about what you could expect them to carry. and yes i agree the standing up and walking foward was ridiculous... its not covering fire, its hollywood
