NAVY SEALS (Theatrical Release USA 1990)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 3.7|5.0 Starsììì

Navy Seals has a cast that seems to be having more fun on set than getting down to the nitty gritty of making a good film. This results in weak acting and poor portrayal of the value of United States Navy SEALS.

Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?

Maybe. The movie does manage to generate interest in military rescue operation procedures, but the film fails at the actor level and does not provide top level entertainment value.
