enjoyed it, but true story? not likely

Rating: 6/10 (23 July 2014)

I did enjoy the movie. Very likable actors in a suspenseful situation with a lot of action. Too much action, in fact, as it started to feel like one of those drawn out fights where you are tempted to fast forward. Theses guys put Superman to shame as to how they can keep moving after numerous wounds and falls that should have broken every bone in their bodies. The attempt to show the Seals as superhuman with a strong ethical soul was a bit overdone. The biggest fault was their decision to let the goat herders go. They had other options to avoid killing them while allowing themselves to remain undiscovered. But I think the desire by the writer/director to make a point led to the decision. Besides, they were going to die anyway, why not make them martyrs.
