Stratton [DVD]

Just read some of the "more critical reviews"... Are you guys serious ? This is not real life, it is fiction. Not a serious flick, just something to fill your empty time with. And yes, this is not a major actor movie, it is a British take on the American "spread the virus - rid some bad guys" kinda stuff but still a good movie without the "political correctness" we see in the American movies today. Just because there is No Stallone, no Statham or Schwarzenegger in this movie, this does not mean that it is bad...For those guys who criticize the Seal's snafu, clearly you never had a brother in arms... Get a life !!! It is a movie...

This is a fun watch and the opening mission is exciting-ish, but when the new E-5 SEAL arrives carrying an E-7 Chief Petty Officer cover, you have to laugh at the lack of attention to detail. Enjoy!

I've seen this show three times already and I know I'll see it again. Love the action, the actors, the plot, the ending, and especially the way the actors bounce off one another. I'm pretty sure I'll be seeing "Stratton" again. Dominic needs to make a lot more movies like this....

I wish the whole movie was as interesting, as the first mission, the main character goes on. Slowly but surely, the film starts to turn into a made for TV action movie. The production company could have copied and pasted, the last twenty minutes of any other action film, into this movie. Then used CGI to put in their own actors. They could have saved themselves time and money. It might just be me, but Dominic Cooper, doesn’t seem like a good choice as the star in this project. It could just be, that no one in the cast, is required to do any real acting. Gemma Chan, was about as animated as she was in the TV series, where she played an android. Derek Jacobi, must just have been in the neighborhood, and the producers said something like, “Hey Mate, if you’re not busy. Want to be in a scene or two in our movie”? Of course, they probably just called his agent, to see if he had a little time to kill. Lastly, I would have much preferred the actor, that played the first American serviceman. To the one that played his former team member. I can’t say more, because of “spoilers”.

It seems like all the agents wait until everything goes wrong and then try to handle when they already had the chance to shoot things down many times prior. A sniper could have finished things way too quickly and earlier on.

This was a good action movie. It was very wonderful. The actors were amazing. If anyone likes action movie I would tell them to watch it.

This movie feels more like a pilot for a series than a stand-alone movie. If a pilot, 2.75 stars. A movie, 2 stars.Pace was quick but the acting was uncompelling and there was nothing to draw the audience in to sympathize with any of the characters.Two things happened that dropped any redemption this show had at keeping my interest: the British SOF soldier remarked that the new American SEAL turned down a promotion to stay in the field; that makes absolutely no sense given that the SEAL's current rank (Petty Officer 2nd Class) is equal to a Sergeant (E-5) in the Army or Marines. Then the SEAL put his entire team at risk by jumping out and firing his weapon at the enemy across the street. More incredulously, the British SOF soldier blew it off and minimized the SEAL's actions as nothing to be concerned about. At the point, the "movie/pilot" dropped from a 3 to a 2.5. And no, I would not recommend this movie to anyone.

"Bloody good movie" -- says a Yank. "Hellah good" -- raves a Brit. The movie is kind of cool because the lead is British, but his supporting character is American. The plot is solid, and the action is top tier.I don't know why the ratings for the movie are as they are. Maybe it's because there's only 40 of them. But I think the average should be closer to 4 stars. The IMDB rating should be closer to 7. The movie is definitely a good 2 hours. I don't know why others couldn't get past the first 15 minutes.

Suspenseful. Good action flick.

Produit de qualité et livraison rapide....😁

Boring

Fantastic film,very fast delivery

If I weren't such a fan of the John Stratton series I'd have probably enjoyed the film more; in fact, I'll probably enjoy it more for watching it again...... can't help thinking it would have been better leaving it set as written in the book, rather than 'updating' it to the present day??Other reviews have quite rightly slated certain aspects of the film, some more so than others, but I find the criticism of the 'Special Forces' portrayal most amusing, illustrating as it does peoples' total ignorance of Military matters in general, and 'Special Forces' in particular...😅'Special Forces' personnel are NOT the unstoppable hulking great brutes of Hollywood; they have, out of necessity, to be able to blend into whatever environment to which they are deployed. To do otherwise would be counter productive to the point of being pointLESS!As for the 'lack of underwater action' in the film, the SBS were deployed to Iraq alongside the SAS; not a lot of water in the desert.😉The SBS are simply the Naval equivalent of the Army's SAS; they go where they're needed...
