I had some worries jumping into this knowing it was using current U.S. Navy Seals, not actors for the roles. You will notice it's not as smooth as other movies in terms of dialogue and some acting parts, but it is all made up for in simply the most realistic military movie ever made. I also want to preface that the Seals are NOT bad actors, they do a fine job. The movie follows a Navy Seal team through a series of missions that start out as a rescue, then turns into a manhunt. They are so smooth and badass in the combat sequences that it really sets a standard for movies to follow. I did HATE the Call of Duty-esque camera view from time to time. It detracted and felt really gimmicky and cheap. The film is pretty heart-wrenching and gritty, it really doesn't pull any punches about the life of our armed forces. There isn't a lot of room for comedy and joy, just some character development and right into it. Really a tribute/ recruiting film for our military, but certainly worth seeing the most realistic combat you'll see.
Bottom Line: 8.2 out of 10. It's really worth checking out, bring tissue or a handkerchief, probably going to come in handy.
