Review of U.S. Seals

U.S. Seals (2000 Video)
1/10
The Plot was thinner than my fingernail....
27 May 2000
The beginning of the movie was slow, and I figured that the action would pick up.....well it did, but I almost wish it didn't.

The plot was, to be frank, (1) confusing (2) rehashed (3) REALLY, REALLY cheesy. From what we are told, the "bad guy" is pirating cargo from ships around the world, yet we don't know what "the cargo" is, and we are given the usual excuse of "he's selling it to the Chinese."

To add to this, I almost thought I was watching Rambo when 2 guys with pistols manage to fight they're way through about 100 guys with full-auto machine guns, 1 half-track (or something similar), and a full blown tank....

Then I was even further amazed by the ability of 5 guys with sub-machine guns to get by another 100 guys, 2 pill-boxes, 1 guard tower, and even a tank.

By the last 30 minutes of the movie I was laughing so hard about the so-called "tactics" the seals were using and the things I mentioned earlier, but after what I saw in the last 30 minutes I almost passed out I started laughing so hard. Things such as:

(1) A tank chase through the "town market" (did I mention the market is in the middle of the street?), which sends people flying out of the way, smashes tables and chairs, and even sends a car flying into the air and exploding.....

(2) 5 guys fighting through an addition 50 men, then shooting a truck, which is for no reason suspended in the middle of the air by a crane, smashing the additional 50 men and the 2 tanks which are accompanying them.....

(3) The "hero" putting down all of his weapons, so he can have a hand-to-hand fight with the "villain", and guess who won?

As if I wasn't laughing hard enough already the ending dialogue between "the hero" and his son was hilarious because the acting was so bad.... (Hero) "You want to go home son" (Son) Yeah, that sounds like a excellent idea (says with a goofy smile)

Overall I couldn't find anything good about this movie. The Sound mixing was horrible, the Soundtrack boring, acting terrible, video "special effects" were sub-par, and the plot was the most jumbled and rehashed I have ever seen....

in short, don't see this movie unless you want to see a mix between a Rambo movie and a bad comedy
