A handsome, dark haired movie star plays a hotshot Naval officer where he shows off his military prowess, develops a love interest in a beautiful female authority figure, all while hanging with his boys in the off time. It culminates in an America First military victory.
Sound like Top Gun? Close, just insert Charlie Sheen into the lead role, change aviation to special operations and you've got Navy Seals.
I heard about this old movie on a podcast where a real SEAL was pointing out all the military inaccuracies. But upon viewing the movie, you can tell he has watched it many times in a loving manner, like a father talking about his son. It was ahead of its time, with the battle scenes fighting in the Mideast. Plus there was a lot of good action with diving, parachuting, gearing up and such.
Surprisingly good * * * *
