Well, I fell in the media's trap. Good movie but not a great movie.

Rating: 5/10 (14 February 2015)

I walked into the movie theater with absolutely no idea that this one was about a real war hero so I watched it expecting an elaborate Hollywood plot. But no... it was just the story of a guy who's job was to kill people while protecting others. So real life stories are not that exciting and that's how scene after scene were played with little adrenalin in between. So he went and without giving much thought decided to be a Seal. No big deal. And training... easy! Just a cold mud pool by the beach (where's Louis Gossett Jr or Lee's Emery Gunnery Srgt?). And the cools dudes flew to Irak where they confronted terror... yes terror represented by a mom with her 14 year old son carrying a hand grenade. Isn't this dumb? Sad but laughable. And the story goes on with the neglected wife clitché. Yawning already. And more clitches coming up. Who will he confront? You guessed it right, Mustafa, the Arab sniper. Anyone would expect this will be the movie climax but it just happens in another bland scene. Of course he is gonna win this confrontation, if not no one would pay the ticket price. Oh.. and he barely made it to the truck in the sand storm... lucky guy! (one tiny little bit of adrenalin here). Now you know the movie is about to end and he returns home with brain damage (oh... this is new!). Next is the ToysrUs baby moment... come on Clint, this is ridiculous. And .... I'll stop here...too many spoilers. I'm ending with a simple sentence, This ain't an Oscar movie.
