Review of Navy Seals (1990) by Monsieur R — 29 Nov 2010

Typical gung-ho film about threats to whom? Seems like the Pentagon has way, WAY too much time on its hands. In the begining, a handful of Stinger missles need to be destroyed. While it is action filled, it is way too propoganda orientated. Sign up today! This is pure fantasy.

The soundtrack includes, for a very brief moment, a singing performance by Woodstock's Peace Love and Happiness Richie Havens. I guess money talks. How ironic is that?

The forces arrayed against these SEALs makes it appear the Germans in WWII. Pure bullshit. These SEALs are about anything but a shootout. They do underground, quiet stuff, not shoot outs.

Navy Seals are brought in to rescue American military personnel in the Middle East. Action thriller film fans will love this one and there is nothing wrong with that. Enjoy!

But in the end, this is pure fantasy and for action lovers, no matter what the plot.
