Highly Overrated But Still Good

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

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.

It's a pretty straightforward action film. The U.S. Seals are sent to capture the terrorist "Casper". The acting is not very good, but it's not surprising since this is a B action movie. The actor that plays "Casper" was the most watcheable because his acting was better than the rest. It was an OK time waster.The criticism that I have for this film is that the night shots were just awful. Especially the shot of the Seals underwater. I couldn't see anything except little flashes of light and I didn't understand the dialogue. It was so frustrating I nearly turned off the film. But once the night scenes and underwater scenes were over, the film was decent. The fighting scenes were exciting and there were some spectacular explosions. It's a typical movie that guys love, I think.I enjoyed it for what it was. Nice movie to rent if one is stuck at home with a twisted ankle, like me.

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.

I enjoyed this movie. Lots of action, explosions, guns... Fun guy stuff. Acting by Bentley Mitchum (lead bad guy) and the red head seal(gary murphy) was the best. Movie has twists and fun. Don't take too seriously and you'll enjoy the evening if you like guy films.
