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

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.

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.

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 loved this film! It is a terrific enactment of an actual event, and I very much enjoy a movie that is based on a true story. It kept me riveted all the way through, and thoroughly satisfied at the end. That's my idea of a 5 star film! I recommend that after you watch this, watch "Zero Dark Thirty". It is another terrirfic film on the same subject, but you have to listen and concentrate, or you'll miss the plot. Well worth it to give it your full attention. Together they are gangbusters!

I originally saw this movie on TV late summer / early fall of 2012 when it premiered on a cable network. Thought it was a great movie, excellent cast, and kept my attention all through the movie. I will say too that while I sat 2 1/2 hours through "Zero Dark Thirty" that movie could not keep my attention and I dozed on and off...yet, this made for TV movie was more informative and entertaining to me. So much so, that I opted to add this to my home movie library.

A great DVD of an event in history of the capture of the world’s number one terrorist. Osama Bin Laden was hiding in Pakistan when ‘taken out ‘ by seal team six and once DNA established his identity was ‘buried’ at sea . Great action DVD 📀!!

Well i've watched this and i don't think it's a docudrama at all i thought this look like a real movie after all who the hell cares if it is or not. it's not going to change the way i view the movie.a docudrama and a movie give you the same dam thing.only thing with one of them there is someone standing telling you a bunch of Lies for their own Cause so you can watch it and go WOW I never knew that of course you did'nt.this is going to be the same as Zero Dark thirty only thing a little more intense and that's it and more detailed. So you should see both of these MOVIES because to miss out on something different would be a shame..

Good

Beh, non lo so voi, ma un film d'azione è un film d'azione. NON una una tesi sullo stato mentale di Bin Laden o dei Navy Seals. Tenete conto anche del segreto fitto che circonda la faccenda e... non credo si possa raccontare meglio di così. Andiamo al film. Ma quale documentario? Di cosa state parlando? Si cerca di tener insieme i fatti in un racconto il più preciso possibile! Ed è, secondo me riuscito. La musica di fondo è molto buona considerando i ritmi ed i bassi. Molto carina Kathleen Robertson!... E molto brava. Molto bravi il capo della parte logistica e quello militare. Azione alle stelle. Propaganda americano-patriottica? Il patriottismo che regna sovrano in quella terra, non lo capiranno mai gli italiani... Gustatevi IL FILM. Cinque stelle soltanto?

Von diesem Film war ich total begeistert. Ich gehöre zu den Menschen, die den Einsatz des Seal Teams Six super und letzten Endes auch notwendig gefunden und die Welt ein für alle Mal von dem Terroristen Osama Bin Laden befreit haben. Der Film ist meines Erachtens ganz toll gemacht.
