This movie looks good from the previews I've seen. It comes out on the 24th here in Ohio. I'm probably going on Friday to see it and will give it my .02 after.
The previews state there are real operators.

Be ready now, you won't have that chance later.
I'm going too. I have arranged for several of us to have a training day, the wives don't need to know. Sooooooo we shall see how it goes.
It's real SEALs, I heard an interview from someone associated with the movie, and they said lots of the action sequences were done by SEALs cause no one else could have done them, if so, it oughta be good. Let's face it though, it's just a new version of Navy Seals from back in the day. I'm going to see it as soon as possible.
Common sense is so rare these days, it should be re-classified as a super power.
Having several friends and one family member personally involved in the movie, I have to make a minor correction. . . . .Originally Posted by ak474u
1- All the action sequences were done by active duty SEALs.
2- There are no stuntmen in this movie whatsoever portraying SEALs. All SEAL work, is actual SEAL work.
3- The majority of all the firing scenes are all done in live fire with the exception of 3 scenes. (the trick will be to see if you can figure out which 3 scenes!)
Enjoy the movie! I did!
I cant wait for this flick. There's not been a really good military-oriented movie in a while.

I'm looking forward to seeing it. This coming from someone who very rarely goes to the movies. Hell I hardly watch movies at home.
Great flick, really intense.
The is nothing like Navy Seals the movie. Those guys were lame, Michael Biehn thought he could do anything since he had "all the training" that was needed, NOT. It is my understanding he told the advisers that during a party in Spain and subsequently tripped and fell down a flight of stairs.......
Hay Storm all I picked up was the kidnap scene and the LAW shot. There was another time that I remember it looked like some one was shooting with a blank adapter but I forget where that was.
Ah, man, I consider the original Navy Seals movie to be a training film, along with every episode of the A-Team, the entire series Sledgehammer, Red Dawn, and Paul Blart Mall Cop. lol I was actually kidding about the whole being like Navy Seals from 1980-whatever. I really wanna see this one, if for no other reason than it shows America's Super Men. I heard an interview today on talk radio with the producer, he said one of the scenes with a sub doing an insertion was filmed in a 40 minute window during an actual training op, and they didn't get the coordinates of where the boat was gonna surface for the air units to film until an hour before it surfaced to run the drill. I admire the producer for waiting for these guys to get back from deployments to finish the movie. can't wait to see it.

You are correct on both accounts. As for shooting with a blank adapter, a couple of the weapons were modified with flash supressor style BFA's, So there were actually no original style screw on red box BFA's used. The last one was in the tunnels scene. Apparently there was a sound discipline thing happening in the tunnel scene where actors were complaining of the reverberation of the gunshots in enclosed spaces. This is according to my cousin who worked Production on the movie during filming sequences.
I heard the tree-hugging anti-gun people are giving it bad reviews - so it must be good!
