Very Smelly

Rating: 1/10 (30 January 2013)

It was SOOOOO so so so Hollywood.
Most of the movie was a snoozer.
They went overboard to make the Seal Team look like a bunch of misfit losers as in fat, un-kept, undisciplined red-necks. In all fairness, the cast members, as far as the Seal team goes, did a good job considering the material they were given to work with.
The photography was awful.
The screenplay pulled every selection possible from the smörgåsbord of cookie cutter Hollywood movie gimmicks that they could cram in.
Jessica Chastain's part was written so poorly that if she was anything close to a good actress I'd have felt sorry for her. Honestly the stuff they had her do and say in this amateur hour was beyond the pale.
They left very important parts of the story out such as everything that happened after the killing. That would have made the movie more interesting.
The very last scene was so hokey that I really wanted to barf. All through the movie Chastain's character was the smartest kid on the block, she knew everything and could do anything. You know, a "women are just as good as men" lesson for all of us. Then, at the very end, she gets on an Army carrier and sits down and starts crying. GIVE ME A BREAK! She didn't even bother herself with acknowledging the crew member who asked here where she wanted to go. I guess if you're Superwoman you can do that. I wonder how many of the Seals that did all of the heavy lifting and dirty work cried.
The whole thing is a joke from start to finish. And that's my story and I'm sticking to it. Pretty disappointing.
