Customer Reviews of U.S. Seals 2
A Modern Republic Serial First and foremost this is not, I repeat NOT, a textbook realistic depiction of our SEALS at work.
Not even close.
In fact, it's quite unfortunate that this film is part of the US SEALS series, because it seems that many viewers are upset that it isn't a documentary. These people completely miss the point.
This is a flat-out Action Flick filmed in an outrageously over-the-top fashion. Everything that happens on screen is gloriously dynamic: characters movements, gestures and even nods are accompanied by whip-crack sound effects. Even a hard stare leaves an aural vapor trail in this movie.
The elaborately choreographed battles, stunts, and jaw-dropping body count will please martial arts and action fans in search of a vigorous cheap thrill.
This is one of the most enjoyable beer & pretzels movies I've seen this year. And any film in which the villain gets vertically bisected by a katana can't be all bad.
Can it?
You Want Your Action Fast, Hard And Wild... This Is It!!!
I think when people dislike these movies, I always figure they must have thought they were renting something else. But, when you pick up a film called US SEALS 2 in which the story is about a group of renegade SEALs that must go infiltrate an island unarmed to stop an ex team member, what are you looking for? Let's get this straight, it's a low budget action film, but you get a lot out of it.
This should not be billed as a military film as it is more of a Hong Kong action flick. So, if you like a lot of gun play, this is not it. There is one shoot out in the beggining to make sure we know these guys are really SEALs (in movie land of course) but the rest of the film is all hands, feet and swords. I am a fan of the Hong Kong films and this is definately one of the best American atempts at that style. The choregraphy is done by Jackie Chan Stunt Team Member Andy Cheng so you can see why it looks good.
The film also stars Acapulco HEAT heart throb Michael Worth. Of course, he is much more of an actor than most in these kind of films, but he can still move like the best of them. He doesn't reduce the roll to that of a cardboard cut out. I hope to see him in some bigger films.
Karen Kim plays the lead female. She is great to look at and a good actress to boot (literally!). Damian Chapa from Blood In, Blood Out plays the bad guy. Though I don't think he is a real martial artist, he still carries off the fight scene with Worth pretty well.
Anyway, there is ALOT of fighting in this film and the plot is pretty thin. But, we all know for these films plots are more of an excuse to see people kick.... So, I give this 5 stars based on the fact that the film pays off at what it promises. I do fault it only as far as their video art work is concerned. This is no GI JANE, or PLATOON. But, you want to get carried off on a cartoon adventure for 90 minutes... CHECK IT OUT!
Review It For What It Is.....Kick Butt Action Movie
Okay, getting out of the way that we all know what kind of film we are watching, I will approach it from there....
The film definately has some of the better fight scenes from the low budget (and even higher budget) American action films. The choreography, as well as the actors themselves, is all top notch. The only thing that kills it though is the VERY over thte yop sound effects. They work fine during a fight, but when someone moves a finger and we hear the same sound....that's a problem.
Actor Michael Worth (Ghost Rock) carries the role well, even if he may seem a bit young to be a retired SEAL leader. The writing left him little to do with dialouge, but he makes it his own and remains charming. He seems to be one of those actors that has not quite been noticed by the studios yet but probably will be soon. His co stars Karen Kim and Marshall Teague all work well together and make a good team.
The fights are very Hong Kong in style and should be the main point of interest for this film since the premise is all to set up the action.
Not much gunning or SEAL tactics, but plenty of spin kicks and some battling babes if that is to your liking.
