disgusting, overrated, pointless
... View MoreWhen a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
... View MoreAt first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
... View MoreEasily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
... View MoreThe 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.
... View MoreSeal Team Six is a 2008 American war film directed by the producer of The Hurt Locker, John Stockwell, inspired by actual events. John Stockwell (born on March 25, 1961) is an American actor, director, producer, writer and former model. It's a low-budget film which deals with the end of the infamous al-Qaeda head, Bin Laden, on May 2nd 2011. Moreover, it's a very short film which lasts only 90 minutes. After receiving orders of their superiors about the guarded compound in Pakistan, US intelligence have to dismantle the mission in a time limited. Very close to Zero Dark Thirty by Kathryn Bigelow, SEAL Team Six focuses on the truthfulness of the events and of the actions. It looks like a documentary which protects the X files of the government. The facts in the film were not "confirmed or denied" by White House officials. On the first hand, the script and direction are fairly matter-of-fact, even if there are lots of amazing shots of sunsets and landscapes), but on the other hand, there are lots of excellent performances as Connors, Ross Martin (as Mangus), Kamala Devi (as Teela), Pat Conway (as Captain William Maynard), and Adam West (as Delahay). These performances show why Geronimo is a success. The defects of the film are to avoid torture and to add fiction to reality. Yet, this film has lots of qualities as the final gunfight, the suspense, the moment of actions and the witch hunt against Bin Laden. We can also talk of the effects which engender the sense of danger and peril. They are no clear "bad guys" and "good guys" here. Rather, the conflicts of the film are portrayed as resulting from cultural dispositions, duty and necessity. Moreover, the film is visually amazing. The movie seems to be fascinating and full of new development but it has some little errors. It was nominated for the "Outstanding Art Direction For A Miniseries Or Movie" and for the "Outstanding Sound Editing For A Miniseries, Movie Or A Special" in 2013. It was not the red-carpet premiere that John had in mind. Positive criticism: "Very interesting, I look first "Zero Dark Thirty" because it was a famous film by Kathryn Bigelow, and I personally think that "Code Name Geronimo" is better than it. The acting is amazing!" Negative criticism: "Fichtner, once again typecast as a stern authority figure, is arguably the best of a mediocre lot, but fails to ignite the film's plethora of arduous and poorly written scenes within US intelligence HQ. Similarly irksome is the grating contrivance that almost no member of this apparent 'crack team' of SEALs is able to keep their emotions in check for seemingly any longer than five minutes. Predictably, macho face-offs are in plentiful supply."To conclude, I personally think that this film is a human and subjective vision of the war by the soldiers who are constantly trapped between life and death. I prefer Seal Team Six because it is more realistic than Zero Dark Thirty which is too exaggerated.
... View MoreIt's ironic how much better this film was than the big box office film depicting the same story (Zero Dark Thirty). It actually had character development and didn't focus on one aspect of the story like the other film did. It was nice how they made an effort to make a story out of the Seal Team as well. Not to mention, their attention to detail when describing how they knew it was Osama Bin Laden in the fortress they discovered him in. Talking about how they incinerated trash, how the unusually tall male didn't do any of the household chores, they grew and raised their own food, etc. I have seen complaints about this film favoring Obama and his efforts in finding him but, is it not true that Obama made a huge effort to find him which other presidents didn't see as big of a project? I am not an Obama fan by any means but at least he did make finding him an emphasis of concern. Regardless of politics and negative reviews, Good Flick.
... View MoreA member named Mark Owen of the Devgru(Team Six) published a book called "No Easy Day" just a few months ago. I highly recommend the filmmakers of this picture to go take an eye on it.And secondly, please learn a bit of the meaning of the word "fact" and "respect".Because these people have gone too far from the fact and just made this raid too one-sided and looks like a "bully" sequence of scenes, In my opinion, This film team is either insulting audiences' intelligence or they are too loyal to their dream work, and to the later point i can totally understand why there are people giving this poor piece of work a 10 out of 10.Come on, respect the term "FILM" okay? Just do it for others, please! please! I beg you please!Jesus Christ
