Seal Team Six: The Raid On Osama Bin Laden
B**N
Bin Laden is Dead and this movie shows why
I thought this film excelled Zero Dark Thirty by a mile. It focuses on the men and women who made it happen without all the hype that K. Bigelow and her snarky partner Mark Boal have made of their simplistic flick that owes more to the Tak Fujimoto photography that he developed two-decades earlier with Silence of the Lambs and all that night vision high tech. That seems to be the hook of their movie and Dean Stockwell, who directed this indie masterpiece doesn't need the tricks Boal and Bigelow use. Oh, yes, they prattle on about torture and whatnot...hey, we'll never really know. Classified still exists even though Hollywood prattles about access...yeah, right. Access. Sure...like the CIA is really going to talk to some B- movie makers like Bigelow and Boal.SEALTeam Six makes me cry and I've now seen it on the world premier and twice on the Blu Ray I bought immediately. It's that good. Particular kudos go to Freddy Rodriguez and Anson Mount who has a H U G E career ahead of him. See him play "Cherry" in this flick and then watch the bonus and find that accent doesn't exist. He's an A+ actor and I hope he is therefore recognized as such.Seal Team six is a movie I like so much I will never lend it out. I suggest you buy it, and study it. It is the story we've been told, and tells it well, with zip and conciseness and that they made the whole damn thing in 16 days in Bill Richardson's New Mexico under all those tastey tax breaks for movie maker's is astonishing. You'd swear they were in Pakistan and Afghanistan.

Better Than You Might Think
I have seen many negative reviews of this movie, but I have to say, I think it is quite a good movie.I stumbled across it on Netflix, and since I was waiting for Zero Dark Thirty to be released on Blu-ray, I figured I would watch this. I watched it several times on Netflix, and I liked it so much, I ordered the Blu-ray from Amazon. I recently watched Zero Dark Thirty on Blu-ray, and while I will probably watch it once or twice more, I don't think I will tire of Seal Team Six.Movie: The movie may not have all of the facts correct, but nonetheless, it is very engaging. The plot moves along at a good pace, and there are no slow parts. There are many action scenes interspersed with interview scenes with the CIA analyst, the Seal team members, and news/media clips/President Obama scenes.Blu-ray: The quality of the Blu-ray video is fantastic, and the audio is also excellent.Highly recommended.

Important
Not an huge fan of the casting of, or pound of make up on, the female CIA agent lead. And it's bs that no one knew where Bin Laden was. The CIA agent was diverted, even endangered, for years off the trail. The timing of the raid and film were entirely political. I'd like to see THAT film. Otherwise, good and imporant watch - mixing actual footage with portrayed version. Both this film and Zero Dark Thirty have imp info the other does not.

Interesting
I first saw this show on the National Geographic Channel recently. That's really what prompted me to buy the movie. On the NGC , you would get kinda interested in it and ....BAMMM....there goes a commercial....lol. I despise commercial tv. So, when I got this dvd, it was real interesting to watch. I know there were probably some dramatization scenes involved somewhat, but over-all it was interesting to see the ""behind the scene" action that took place in order to do the things they done. It's kind of scary to think of what goes on in this world with the agents doing some of the sneaky things they do in order to find out some of the details on certain people. Kinda makes you wonder who is actually looking at you sometimes. Never Know ?? It was a good detailed movie though. Just like Zero Dark Thirty. Thanks.

It’s important to know the truth in all matters regarding our less than truthful politicians
I watched another account of the same incident and questioned the voracity of the events.Seal Team Six presented a more detailed account of the raid and gave proper credit where credit was due.To the brave MEN who actually completed the mission despite almost unbelievable obstacles

Very Interesting
Okay so what if there is a bit of American chest beating I found it very interesting and to say that they killed the monster behind the twin towers without harming unarmed women and children was no mean feat. The training that the serviceman undertook and the actual pressure on caring out such a high stakes job was very impressive.

La fin de Ben Laden
Ce film basé sur un évènement réel est bien construit, le scénario permet d'appréhender la réalité au mieux tant au niveau de l'action que pour ce qui gravite autour
