My Review 
This movie is NOT for those looking for a cheap Action thriller. Although there is action in this movie it is cut scenes and takes a bit of using your own mind to put all the pieces together. It leaves parts out, it doesn't show everything.
This movie is not done by big actors. People are downgrading the movie due to the actors and shot work of filming. To you I suggest just stay to you A-List actor  movies. 
This movie has also been thought of as a cheap buck for the Seals that act in the movie. Yes they are real Navy Seals that are acting in this movie.  People say they are sell outs as your not suppose to show what you do or how you do it. That is probably where the lack of some information is. 
I personally loved this movie. I don't know if it is because I have Military people in my family and have went through the NJROTC in high school but never went into a branch myself that makes me unable to see any hatred towards them.  
The movie brought tears to my eyes and rejuvenated my belief in what we can accomplish. The strength and pain that our troops go through daily. The pain those at home live with and the fear. You have to look outside the box to connect with this movie. But if you are capable. Then I think its worth it.
