It is what it is. The action and military combat scenes are stellar. But when it comes to the actual acting it stumbles horribly. It's a great idea having real military in the movie, and because of that I have an enormous amount of respect for this film.

Knowing that the actors were actual Navy SEALs and not professional actors, I didn't expect that much but I pleasantly surprised that like many of their missions, they pulled it off. This movie far exceeded my expectations.If your into visuals, as I am, there's lots of cool stuff in here along with some great special effects and photography. The filmmaking is unique.The actors might not have been pros, but the directors Mike McCoy and Scott Waught were. So, too, were the cameramen. This is a neat movie to see on Blu-Ray.I had read where this is a non-stop action movie, with the action over-the-top. I did not find that to be true. There were enough to lulls to keep it from being overdone.

A SEAL team travels to globe to battle terrorists. Many of the lead actors are real life active-duty Navy SEALs. The problem about the use of real active-duty Navy SEALs is the limited acting skills. The action is more realistic. It's not all the regular Hollywood blow them up fare. The acting isn't really acting. They are just too uncharismatic. The story is just a series of action to uncover a terrorist plot. In the end, it probably doesn't matter. What does a plot have to do with a picture like this anyways. The action is good, but the acting is not so good.
