Locate and destroy these missiles: we have this Navy Seals unit led by Lieutenant James Curran [Michael Biehn] as they go into this hostile location at [Seaport, Easton Mediterranean] to rescue these pilot and crew of this Navy helicopter [Sikorsky SH-3 Sea King] which was trying to rescue some people themselves in the first place on their way out they discover that Ben Shaheed [Nicholas Kadi] has these missiles at his disposal. The pacing of this 113 minutes film is very much of late 1980's and 1990's action film, which I am not being a sexist here. But if you have been around between this timeframe or earlier you would easily remember; the testosterone fuelled films which had the following; basic storyline, guns, a bit of comedy, masculinity, basic character developments, blowing things up, women in supporting roles and did I forget to mention testosterone; well that is what we have here consequently the pacing is stable you know; it knows what it is doing and sticks to plan.

I mean as it relates to the comedy, character developments and action we have this wild card by the name of Lieutenant Junior Grade Dale Hawkins [Charlie Sheen] which is the second in command of this unit. Basically we have this Jeep [ this one has its roof off] whilst Curran, OSC; SEAL/SW William "Billy" Graham: Team Chief [Dennis Haysbert] and Hawkins are off to Graham's wedding as Graham is wondering if he is doing the right thing by marrying Jolena/Jo [S. Epatha Merkerson] Hawkins after hearing enough of this decides to jump out of this moving vehicle whilst we are on a bridge into this sea with saying "See you later." Curran reversing and throwing out Hawkins jacket to him, Graham saying how crazy he is with Curran saying I hope he dies of pneumonia, with Graham still not believing what he is just seen with Hawkins's jacket ending up next to him in the sea with him saying " Thank you."[ Yes I have paraphras and censor some of this dialogue] with Hawkins turning up to wedding hitching a lift.

The action generally speaking is a good mixture of air, land, in the sea and underwater the sky or/and the underwater sequences has art to them as well.

Character developments and performances; generally speaking they are solid versions of what they character types, so the performances are good as well.

This film receives: 6/10, this film is good; I mean it does what it says on the side of the tin " Navy Seals" as I have very much highlighted in this review this is a specifically 1990's testosterone fuelled action film.
