I thought it was good. Good as far as an action movie with an ok story. As far as the military being portrayed in a completely accurate way I dont think so, but I don't have first hand knowledge so ymmv. The shaky cam didn't bother me.

I think it beat the Borne Sequals but not the original.

There were some expected movie flaws that I caught, such as optics being on guns that I wouldn't expect them to be on. ACOG on an MP5.(Perhaps some people would use that I just don't know what the advantage would be). That same optic is portrayed to be nightvision and have a red dot rather than the chevron or crosshair. Helicopter surveillance that can identify a friendly from a target without any type of indicator. (that may very well be real correct me if incorrect).

Overall though I didn't feel ripped off for my $6.50 and it was an enjoyable way to spend two hours with the girl.

After some others see it, I am curious to see how they thought of the way SF was portrayed. They seemed to fit the mold that hollywood usually reserves for SEALs.
