CanadianTire said:My only real concern was with the fireball-explosions from the hand grenades. Other than it, it's not bad and it is what I expected. From what I understand, all 8 core SEAL team members are serving SEALs. If you look around on the internet, their names don't appear in the credits. Apparently the US Navy was behind some of the funding for this.
Hatchet Man said:Like I said, willing to forgive some of the hollywoodisms (ie fireball grenades). I don't doubt the USN helped with the funding, since this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QlU5hQnLwcY was the genesis that started this all.

jeffb said:I would be surprised if they didn't. The US DOD is arguably the largest producer of Hollywood movies. DOD subsidizes the movie industry through the usage of military equipment and soldiers to operate that equipment. Without this support, many movies would never be made. Top Gun and the Transformers franchise are prime examples of this. What is different her is that US military pers have not been featured in speaking roles on a large scale before. This is essentially a fictionalized account of what the SEALS do, played by actual Navy SEALS. It will be interesting to see if this is a one off concept or if the movie industry takes advantage of this more so and essentially turns into the entertainment branch of DOD.
Hatchet Man said:That would definately rile up all the left wingers in hollywood for sure.
