Review of Navy Seals (1990) by Joe Brown for Washington Post — 24 May 2004
It would be unfair to say the one-liner-loaded script sounds as if it were ripped from a comic book. It sounds as if it were ripped from a coloring book. Still, filmed and edited like a two-hour "Not just a job" ad and loaded with high-tech weaponry, secret code words, neat stunts and nearly nonstop blowups, blood and guts, Navy SEALs is an effective, adrenaline-injecting summer action flick that will leave you clenching your teeth and hating The Enemy in spite of yourself.
Like a real Navy SEAL, it does what it's supposed to do and gets out of there quickly, and doesn't remain in your memory for long.
