U.S. Seals

About This Movie

U.S. Seals, released in 2000, dives deep into action with a premise that feels pretty familiar but has its own quirks. The pacing is relentless, especially as the SWAT team, led by Mike Bradley, navigates the high-stakes world of modern piracy. The setting—a deserted oil rig off the coast of Turkey—adds a layer of isolation that works well for the narrative. You can sense the tension build as they prepare for their mission, and the practical effects stand out amidst the usual CGI-driven action of the era. Performances are solid enough, with a focus on camaraderie and bravado as the team faces off against these clever adversaries. It's not groundbreaking, but it has a certain grit that makes it enjoyable for action genre enthusiasts.
