Saw this last week at a pre-screening. Here is my review I left. This movie will be released 02/24/12:

" One of the best war movies I’ve ever seen. Believable storyline and non-stop suspense. They showed weapons and tactics that war movies usually don’t capture, and I think using real Navy Seals instead of actors was brilliant. They weren’t the best on the dialogue scenes, but that’s not what they do. But there wasn’t much of those scenes anyway. There were some graphic scenes. Not necessarily gory, but just graphic (i.e. sharpshooters). I really enjoyed the camerawork as well. Nicely done with the 1st person camera views, especially with the night vision scenes. So many good scenes and battles that I don’t think I could tell you my favorite."

Yea, fantastic movie. It's dead on accurate from a military standpoint. You can see the guys weren't the best in delivering the scripted lines of chat dialogue but when they went into pre-mission briefs, on target and after you could see they were in their element and it really brought those scenes to life. You'll never get that with actors because most of them have never been in that situation for real. Excellent movie.
