Keith J @Av8ter Feb 7 Most of the wannabe movie critics blogging about the director taking cinematic liberties and the "fetish level" of body wounds should have read the book, which happens to be non fiction. This movie is tame in comparison. The level at which these top tier warriors operate borders on unimaginable to most people. Their intelligence, brotherhood, self sacrifice and just plain guts against an overwhelming force gives me chills every time and speaks volumes about the infinitesimal percentage of those who qualify as Seal team operators. As a sidebar the movie dispenses with the somewhat overdone portion of the book involving Seal training and gets right to the meat of the mission.

But the combat scenes were very unrealistic. Bullet wounds are no joke, there is not a single chance in real combat you are not surviving multiple bullets to every part of your body on top of RPG rounds exploding practically on top of you, and just running around like they just sprained their ankles. That doesn't happen. And ROEs (Rules of engagement) change all the time, depends on what the mission is, so I can't speak on that. But overall the non-combat scenes were alright. Just wish military-like movies would at least put a little more effort into showing what real military combat looks like. See more Caley M Jan 20 A tedious series of grossly unrealistic scenes stitched together. These guys are getting shot full of bullet holes in critical body parts and just walking around like it is a stubbed toe and acting like gaping wide wounds full of blood vessels leaking is a matter of willpower. They use bad Call of Duty player tactics. Dozens of RPGs are fired landing one inch beside men to zero effect. Worst of all the laws of war are falsely represented. In reality civilian radio operators are considered to be directly taking part in hostilities by transmitting tactical targeting data for an attack. If the world hates America it is not going to be because a soldier tied up a goat herder with a Taliban radio.
