Entertaining and violent but the combat tactics are shocking
If you've seen this and Act of Valor - can you spot the difference? These are actors dressed up as SEALs (obviously sure) but they haven't gone through even rudimentary training:
- Initial opening shootout has zero finesse, zero co-ordination, and very little evidence of training. At least they are keeping fingers off triggers and are firing blanks (although those silences eh).
- The nighttime raid is just odd, at times they are almost sauntering through what is a pretty poor set (that looks similar to Seagal's horrific Sniper film from last year) and the room clearing is poor.
- Taggart in a warzone is armed with only a single pistol and when attacked stands perfectly still, draws and starts letting off shots. No cover, no nothing. Er . . . .
The violence is also interesting for the History Channel, including a scalping and even an execution and I'm certain one f bomb was unmuted but the rest is meh.
