U.S. Seals

One of the most memorable films ever made. No wonder they made 2 sequels - this is fantastic stuff!

I watched this whilst at Drama School and took a lot of tips from the actors on how to act in action films. We now hold six monthly screenings of US Seals just to keep us on the right track.

I've noticed its out on a bare bones DVD, can the director please bring out a special edition DVD with a commentary by himself and the cast, and just prove to the world how small budget action flicks rock!

I rate this 9/10 - a totally funky flick!

Now to watch the sequels - see if they live up to this!

I read every critic's review and i have to tell you that some of these people think they know something about making moving pictures. To make a moving picture takes a lot of people. I make movies and I see this movie and I like the movie. The movie did not have to many special affects but they act good. I believe the actors and I like the story. I do not see any Cecil B Demills in the name box of critics so they should go to make a moving pictures before they say something to the bad side. I do not like French moving pictures because they are so slow and boring with the long shots they think are interesting and arty. If you make this movie against other action American movies with big stars that don't do their own action, and they fake it.

I must admit, I knew this flicker was not the representation of real seals, however, I truly enjoyed the storyline of the flicker. Any time you can associate with the plite of persons, one can supplant themselves into the characters celluloid life.

Moreover, being one that toils behind a desk all day long futzing with numbers as an accountant would, it makes me relax to visualize exteriors from other parts of the world. I was truly amazed that this flicker was shot in Bulgaria, while it appeared as though it were the middle of Caribbean Sea and San Francisco. Surprising. The acting was genuine. The cinematography was well done. Moreover the action scenes were well done. Cheerio. Carry on.

There isn't one war picture or Military themed film that I haven't seen at least two or three times a piece. I'm one of those Extremely Patriotic Soldiers that enjoys going after the bad guys. You mess with freedom and innocence, I'm coming after you! I absolutely and thoroughly enjoyed U.S. Seals! I was definitely enthralled with the possibility of a Terrorist attacking someone in my family, and what I would do to to them. These types of movies aren't made for pansies that are afraid of dying or defending. They make little love stories for people like that. This is definitely about getting even. And getting even with Terrorists is what it's all about. Go Seals...Go Delta...Go Rangers...Go Army...Go Navy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was in a Special Forces Unit in Nam. Our friendships we established were first and foremost, our primary reason for risking our lives. To defend each other...our country...our freedom. When the lead actor (Fitzpatrick) is faced with the murder of his wife, his friends step up to defend him. That's what we did.

No stars, no over the top heroics. Just realistic and practical. One of the very action films I've seen in my life time that were as eerily close as this one to being accurate. One can squabble over the dialogue throughout the film, but as with any story there has to be a set backdrop for characters to become real to us. You have to know a little about these guys before you can really feel for them. It's what movies have to do so we root for them. This particular film is truly a great one. The last scene depicts what every combat vet knows and feels, as we took to the battle field. Kill or be killed. Hunt, or be hunted. Live, or die...like our motto, "Kill'em all, let God sort'em out."
