haha. thank you super for that very-indepth and informative analysis into the male psyche. i will have to remember that the next time i am in a bar getting hit on by navy seals (or any branch of the military, for that matter).
no, i don't think this movie was made for me or females my age, so i now understand the whole stilettos-in-the-woods-scene.

A friend of mine worked as a P.A. on the set here in Virginia Beach and was helping to load the rounds as they entered the Kill house. It was the scene where Michael Biehn's character takes the reporter to show her around the course. During the loading of the weapons with blanks, my friend noticed a live round! Fortunately, he did notice it in time and of course did not load it into the weapon.

2 Things
1.Don't take your military training and tactics from watching movies. This movie has less to do with SEAL's reality than a how-to book teaching fish to ride bicycles.
2.Sheen's character would never qualify SEAL. His psych-state would wash him.
This is extreme escapism at the expense of marginalizing deserving warriors. -

The underwater confrontation at the end is the one part of this movie I didn't like - it just seemed too gratuitous. Come on, Curran's wounded, and Hawkins is just going to pull another crazy stunt which might get Ramos and Leary AND Curran killed?!

There were lots of mistakes but the biggest plot hole I saw in this movie was the fact they tried to make it about a Special forces unit.
I remember the huge emphasis put onto the tag line that the distributors tried to sell this film with, something about being so secret that the government did not acknowledge their existence and that the code of silence between the Seals was absolute. Then, the first chance they get one of them goes blabbing to a girl he meets who just happens to be a reporter!
As a kid I had alsways enjoyed action movies. And when I was a young teenager my parents bought me the video of this as a Christmas present not long after it came out, I didn't ask for it and I didn't want it, but out of respect I watched it with them, and then promptly asked them to send it back!
It was the first and only time I ever rejected a gift. Most films which I have no interest in but end up watching at some point I will actually sit through and end up feeling that it was not as bad as I first feared, Navy Seals was the first film I ever saw and finished up wondering 'what was the point'?
I wont get personal by insulting other posters on here, but I seriously struggle to understand what anyone found plausible or enjoyable about this movie?
