    You do know they aren't actors right??

    Who the hell goes to a movie cast with active duty Navy SEALs and expects Academy Award winning acting???

    I thought they did awesome jobs and brought out the realism of what their jobs entail. Let's see watch a movie with Matt Damon or Denzel "pretending" to be super duper awesome badass covert op agents or watch the real thing do what they do best... hmmm that's a tough one

    I thought it was pretty good, took my 13yo son to see it....he's in that gung-ho army/guns stage. My favorite part was when that river boat comes around the corner and unloads that gau 17 minigun on the fly...that was badass.

    found it haha http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uxm7uk7I07w

    Seriously? As BK states, they are not pretending to be actors. And to be frank, your response shows a complete lack of understanding of our military and what they sacrifice (the intent of the movie). This may very well be the most selfish thing I have read on this board, and that's saying something.

    Agreed. Enjoyed every minute of it all though I did chuckle a few times at the acting.

    The fight scenes were phenomenal.

    Definately my favorite scene too, it just sent chills down my neck (the good kind) seeing the boat swoop in to save the day and kick some ass!

    I heard they used something like 4000 rounds of live ammo in shooting that scene.

    If you go into this movie knowing that they are not actors and this is what they actually have done in real life, it is phenomenal. Making this movie was just another day of practice for most of these guys and it shows by how second nature everything was to them.
