Seal Team Six: The Raid On Osama Bin Laden - DVD

Item exactly as described and pictured in the listing. Quick ship and safely packed. Easy transaction. Would do business again.

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.

Always like action filled movies.

Excellent. It isn't as detailed or as gripping as Zero Dark Thirty, but worth a watch for those that are interested. N.B. Having rewatched both Zero Dark Thirty and Seal Team Six, I wanted to add some further comments. First, those that see "Seal" as a campaign project for Obama's reelection have a point. He occupies a prominent position in this movie. Personally, I think he made the right call. but I also think that almost anyone in his position would have made the same call. Secondly, and most importantly, "Seal" gets many of the important particulars wrong, if Zero Dark Thirty is the benchmark, which I think is fair, as few have challenged the basic honesty of that portrayal(except, of course,for those that question the effectiveness of the enhanced interrogations or torture.) Whether it's the identification and location of the courier or the actual raid, "Seal" apparently gets almost nothing right. Clearly those involved with "Seal" simply didn't do the comprehensive research that those responsible for "Zero" did. I still recommend "Seal", but simply be aware that it is inaccurate in many regards.

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.

Until watching the alternate version of this film (as of this date unreleased in Blu ray), I cannot make a comparison. I have seen the trailers for the alternate version and I was anticipating that film. Right after the Oscars I began reading reviews for this film, Seal Team Six and was pleased with the reviews worth reading. Deciding this would provide me with my selection of film portrayal, I bought it. This time I make the right choice to purchase. The casting, editing, format were perfect. A fast paced, engaging film that captures one from the first scene until the final credits. Actually after watching it, I wanted to pop it back in and watch it again.
