Bin Laden is Dead and this movie shows why
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.

Better Than You Might Think
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.

Well Worth Watching
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.

Interesting
I first saw this show on the National Geographic Channel recently. That's really what prompted me to buy the movie. On the NGC , you would get kinda interested in it and ....BAMMM....there goes a commercial....lol. I despise commercial tv. So, when I got this dvd, it was real interesting to watch. I know there were probably some dramatization scenes involved somewhat, but over-all it was interesting to see the ""behind the scene" action that took place in order to do the things they done. It's kind of scary to think of what goes on in this world with the agents doing some of the sneaky things they do in order to find out some of the details on certain people. Kinda makes you wonder who is actually looking at you sometimes. Never Know ?? It was a good detailed movie though. Just like Zero Dark Thirty. Thanks.

Ottimo direi!
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?

Männerfilm
Dokufilme über solche Themen gibt es genügend, alle mit verwackelter Kamera und den "Feind " sieht man meist gar nicht, bis er irgendwann als Haufen tot im Busch liegt. Der Film zeigt viel mehr die Arbeit der Soldaten, aufbereitet für den Zuschauer im Pantoffelkino mit guter Schnitt und Tontechnik und vor allem verdammt guter Kameraführung. Die Story ist, wenn man das Buch von Mark Owen gelesen hat, wohl recht dicht an der Wahrheit, natürlich mit mehr Action beim "eigentlichen" Einsatz.Es muss einem klar sein, dass man Kampfeinsätze mit jeder Technik nie vollständig dem Zuschauer zugänglich machen kann. Wer DEVGRU in Action sehen will ist mit diesem Film top bedient, einer der Besten die ich bisher gesehen habe zum Thema Seals/Afghanistan/Irak.
