Dies und das:

The actors spent two weeks in an intensive SEAL-style "boot camp." In the end, it was actors versus SEALs in a final "war game" showdown. The SEALs are reported to have graciously said that the actors made a good showing for themselves.

Pannen:

Faktische Fehler: As the Seals escape through Beirut in a hijacked car, Leary carries a Stinger missile but doesn't use it until he has figured out how it works.The Seals regularly train with all types of US weapons and any Seal would be very familiar with the Stinger and it's method of use.

Dialogzitate:

Curran: Why'd you leave the doorway? Were you looking for a rush, a little rush? Well, I hope you got it. Because you just toasted a man you put in his grave.

I DON'T WANT TO SAY GOODNIGHT

A very good war-action movie

OK, I'll try to comment mostly on the music cause enough has been said about this movie. I think it's a very good war movie (despite some flaws) but to the people who just critsize I would like to ask them if they can name a better special forces movie. Their Finest Hour? Or maybe Delta Force? I don't think so.

The first thing that amazes me most about this movie are the great action scenes. I think they look pretty realistic (the gunfights in Beirut, for example). I think it's because of the camera (not so many colors and lights so it looks much more realistic) and authentic scenery (I liked that destroyed Israeli M113 in the background).

The other thing is one of the best music scores ever (which unfortunately I can't seem to find anywhere). I mean, Sylvester Levy really did his job right. Every time they head for action they are followed by excellent instrumental scores which make this film a real experience to watch (my favourite one plays when they are running for the shore). Unbelievebly good.

So, I have seen it a couple of dozen times and still like to watch it for the above reasons. It's not a deep movie. Just good action and great music. I enjoy(ed) it. Maybe you will, too.
