Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

The Worst Film Ever

Great Film overall

A Masterpiece!

Horrible acting, almost completely fictitious, and unintentionally campy. They could have at very least got some believable people to play the seals. The actors playing the seals show zero concept of tactics and their acting sucks so bad it's insulting to the brave men of our special forces. I want my two hours back.

attempts sch as thus video are dangerous in that viewed are informed and yet misinformed at the same time. these type of glorification- romanticizing works are projects better left undone. propaganda such as this and many more similar to it are harmful to our service members and those we wish to generate support from and helpful to those wishing to do harm. articles such as this video literally and figuratively make our uniformed armed service members targets. thus does mire harm then good. it makes me think somewhere a politician said, "hello Hollywood, I want to make a movie". attempts sch as thus video are dangerous in that viewed are informed and yet misinformed at the same time. these type of glorification- romanticizing works are projects better left undone. propaganda such as this and many more similar to it are harmful to our service members and those we wish to generate support from and helpful to those wishing to do harm. articles such as this video literally and figuratively make our uniformed armed service members targets. thus does mire harm then good. it makes me think somewhere a politician said, "hello Hollywood, I want to make a movie"

The DVD I watched broke down about halfway through the movie, but I saw enough. I was expecting the story about the raid on Abbottabad by the title Navy SEAL team, perhaps dramatized, but at least realistic. Instead, I got a thinly-disguised Obama campaign propaganda piece, with attacks on certain Republicans thrown in to ensure the point.It tries to throw in interviews with the participants (actual ones, or actors?), dramatizations of what happened before and during the raid, what happened at the CIA with the different people, some infighting among the team members...and ends up with a confusing mishmash. We jump from one thing to another to another to another, but one point is made clear...the real hero is President Obama and his wonderful leadership.I happened to read the account of the raid in "The New Yorker" magazine. Despite the magazine's pro-Obama bias, even that article hardly played up Obama's role in it like this movie did.

This is inevitably the type of film that brings a lot of criticism. Yes it was low budget, yes it was TV movie or the same production value of it but that can make for some really crappy films and this was actually very entertaining. Factually accurate? Likely not even remotely close. Although it does use some of the more commonly accepted facts of the infamous situation. The acting is good but certainly not great but the pseudo-documentary feel works well and the action scenes are well executed. The film builds a lot of tension throughout as you anxiously await the final raid that kills Osama Bin Laden. The final raid is done very well and is satisfying to the utmost. I was really hesitant to watch this because I am so tired of low budget, cheesy fluff and this seemed like a complete knock off of Zero Dark Thirty (which I have not seen yet but am dying too!) So this one was a very nice surprise. It isn't perfect and it isn't going to blow you away but anyone going in this with high expectations clearly doesn't watch a lot of movies. TV/Second string actors, straight to video release just prior to a full Hollywood production based on the same subject matter...anyone who expected this to be huge will be mistaken. But entertaining? Absolutely.The film really is all about the team. There is no one performance that is really focused on. Everyone sort of supports the story and that works well for the film, although no one really gets to stand out because of this and then in the same boat no one drags it down either. I enjoy Cam Gigandet whenever I see him in things. He's always a background player and that works for him. He's good in the movie as the team leader though he seems very young (which they do make note of.) He isn't star power by any means but he does alright. Anson Mount probably gives one of the best performances in the film as Cherry. He has some really emotional scenes and the tension between him and Gigandet's Stunner makes for some very good drama. Freddy Rodríguez and Xzibit round out the Seal Team and they are good but basically just background characters to fill the team. Kathleen Robertson plays essentially the same role as Jessica Chastain does in the Hollywood counterpart. Robertson is okay but she certainly shows a lack of experience. She just feels too green to pull off the role. Two of my favourite Prison Break alumni's Robert Knepper and William Fichtner are both really good in their perspective roles. I was really impressed by Knepper who I've only seen in creepy killer roles. He actually gave a subtle and powerful performance as the teams Commander. Eddie Kaye Thomas played a good role although his introduction on screen was odd because he had no lines in a scene with him, Fichtner, and Robertson where he stands there and nods looking awkward.I think given a director with a little more experience and talent this might have actually been nearly theatre worthy. However, I understand that a budget can only go so far and I believe this was made very cheaply. Editing is lacking severely at times, the acting is good but not great but realistically this is a perfectly entertaining film and a good holdover until Zero Dark Thirty. I don't think this was ever meant to be a critically acclaimed historically accurate picture but rather just something to entertain and it does that well. 7/10
