![]() Seal Team Six’s audio is listed as a DTS Master Audio 5.1 experience. Some of the darker scenes struggled to get detail recognized, but overall it was a pretty solid picture through and through. For the most part, the scenes came across grit-free with naturally vivid-looking earth tones in the arid Pakistan terrain and the very sterile hallways of the CIA headquarters. The video was definitely a high point of the film as its provided in a 1080p MPEG-4 AVC format with an aspect ratio of 1.85:1 . ![]() Then again, it is a small independent film so they worked fairly well with what they had. I already picked up on a few like the duel Blackhawks that dropped in the SEALs, but the absence of the top secret Comanche stealth helicopter that was a crucial part of the mission. It’s obvious there was a lot of homework done to put this film together, though I’m curious to see the differening details between it and the upcoming Zero Dark Thirty. The opening scene in the Afghani mountains is tension-laced, the Skype-style goodbyes to their family members is sobering and the assault on the Bin Laden compound is engaging (though not heart-pounding). Gigandet comes across too much like a pretty boy in his role, which bites away at the believability.Įven with its hiccups, the film still has successful moments. The SEALs are a different breed of bad ass. The most recognizable of the SEAL actors is Cam Gigandet ( The Roommate) who I struggled with as a convincing leader of the most heralded special forces team in the world. Also on the CIA side is Kathleen Robertson ( Boss) and American Pie‘s Eddie Kaye Thomas. Fichtner also provides the best acting of the bunch, as this film is sometimes hampered by the occasional mundane bit of writing and underwhelming acting. Probably the most recognizable actor of the bunch is William Fichtner ( The Dark Knight, Entourage) who plays CIA official Mr. Director Stockwell does a proficient job in connecting the three bodies and displaying the hurdles they encounter in making this a successful mission. We get to see it from the points of view of the CIA, SEAL Team Six and a Pakistani intelligence duo assisting the U.S.A. The unique aspect of this movie is it takes a three-pronged approach in delivering the story to viewers. I can’t make a comparison between this and Zero Dark Thirty, but I can say SEAL Team Six achieves moments of proficiency with its smaller scale approach while still aiming for the feel of realism.ĭirected by John Stockwell, the film tells the unfolding plan of the raid on Bin Laden in Pakistan. While Zero Dark Thirty is going to get its mass release in January, you can whet your appetite in the meantime with the independent film SEAL Team Six. ![]()
