This is How Movies Should Be Made

An action-packed slog

Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.

OK, while this is a great guy flick, (guns, explosions, etc) it is a horrible military film. They keep referring to Tyler Christopher's character as "Captain" when his correct rank (according to both NAV Reg's and the railroad bar insignia on his collar) is Lieutenant. his number 2, would either be a Lieutenant J.G or and Ensign. There's just one more problem, Tyler Christopher's character also informs his CO that he intends to murder their guide. Not that I have a problem with killing terrorists, but still, come on. Another problem is, there is no USS Truman. The USS Harry Truman is an Aircraft Carrier, not a Battleship. Also, Battleships are named after states, not Presidents.

The fate of the entire free world is threatened by unfriendly "Casper", a mysterious and resourceful terrorist seen only in blurry photographs. Only the U.S. Navy Seals can kill him. They immediately go underwater on a mission, but are on dry ground mostly. Tyler Christopher (as Rick) and John Simon Jones (as Miller) give the U.S. Seals a soap opera hunk look. Red-haired Gary Murphy (as Baker) has to prove himself. All things considered, Mr. Murphy performs well. Robert Mitchum's grandson Bentley Mitchum (as Andreas) has a plum role. They get involved with a lot of shooting and explosions.*** Frogmen Operation Stormbringer (12/3/02) Franklin A. Vallette ~ Tyler Christopher, Bentley Mitchum, John Simon Jones, Gary Murphy

It's a pretty straightforward action film. The U.S. Seals are sent to capture the terrorist "Casper". The acting is not very good, but it's not surprising since this is a B action movie. The actor that plays "Casper" was the most watcheable because his acting was better than the rest. It was an OK time waster.The criticism that I have for this film is that the night shots were just awful. Especially the shot of the Seals underwater. I couldn't see anything except little flashes of light and I didn't understand the dialogue. It was so frustrating I nearly turned off the film. But once the night scenes and underwater scenes were over, the film was decent. The fighting scenes were exciting and there were some spectacular explosions. It's a typical movie that guys love, I think.I enjoyed it for what it was. Nice movie to rent if one is stuck at home with a twisted ankle, like me.

I am proud to say that somebody finally produced a U.S. Seal movie (there have been 3 of them now!) that was actually worth anything. The first one was a complete sham and the second movie was absolutely the worst movie I have ever seen. But don't kid yourself, this is still a terrible movie.The fascination with beginning the movie with a LONG underwater scene has apparently not changed. The underwater fighting was bad in many ways, so lets go ahead and get it out: the audio was obnoxious at best, and was obviously the same clip of "I've got him!!! I need help!! (grunt, grunt)" on a loop for about a minute. You also couldn't tell who was on what side nor was the action particularly interesting - characteristics VERY COMMON with the original two. Pay close attention and you'll notice they go into the same hatch they went in the second movie! The whole reason the team fought underwater was because they were spotted from shore, well here's an idea - next time don't use a HUGE boat with 5 motors to "silently" approach the target.Somehow they end up in Albania and shoot a few UN soldiers (you would think that might anger the UN) and steal their truck. They then decide to raid a camp using the worst tactics - instead of attacking at night, they wait until broad daylight and about half the team dies. I won't bore you with the rest of the plot but honestly this movie had the LAMEST ending of all 3 movies. It is HILARIOUS to watch a small rubber boat blow up an entire tanker (akin to the jeep blowing up half the port in the second movie, or the car exploding in midair in the first).More problems:-The whole "Senators Son" plot simply did not work, not to mention it is hardly original.-When the head SEAL tells his commander he won't take the Senators son, he keep lowering his head between his shoulders until he looks like a complete moron, and he keeps saying "suh. no suh, I won't take him suuuuhhh.) VERY ANNOYING.-A problem this movie shared with the second one was VERY POOR DVD quality. Everytime a truck goes by it JERKS by, you can clearly see it go frame by frame in an unrealistic manner. The dubbing was also poor and frankly most of them had annoying voices in the first place.At least the second one was funny - this was just stupid. DO NOT WATCH
