    Just saw it and the liberal critics be damned on this one.

    Awesomely well done if not supremely acted by the real Navy Seals who did so.

    It was magnificent technically and the message about protecting America came through loud and clear.

    I would hope we increase recruitment and funding for this very special branch of our military.

    Just finished reading Seal Target Geronimo the story of the taking out of OBL. Facinating recount of what really happened. Navy Seals are unreal. I'll have to see the movie. Thanks for the recommendation.

    :idea:
    I may have to go see this one too. On my way home from work, I was listening to a radio show that was talking about movie making in the pre-Oscar run-up around here. According to the movie makers that I heard on that show; it was easier to teach a SEAL how to act, than it was to teach/train an actor how to be a SEAL, so they just went with real SEALS as a cost cutting measure.

    You don't miss the acting in this one....especially for the sacrifice of realism you don't.
