Real SEAL / Military Detail
I was in this film (as an extra). We had 3 SEALs on hand to make sure SEAL details stayed accurate. In addition, most of the extras portraying soldiers were either veterans of the US Army, the Marines or the Israeli Army. (Most of the action scenes were shot in Israel.) Rob Lowe will never know what it is to be a real soldier, and as an actor just learned to "talk the talk", but many of the others you see in uniform have also "walked the walk". This can be seen in the small details.
Where is the DVD version of this movie?
One word to describe this movie, AWSOME! I believe one of the best military movies, this side of Saving Private Ryan that was filmed. We need to contact the film makers to produce it in DVD Widescreen format really soon. I remember watching it 7 years ago on cable, and I thought it was before it's time. 5 stars all the way!.....
Better than any other SEAL film. Don't miss this one.
TFH is the SEAL film you've been waiting to see. The action sequences are spankin', exciting, and full of realistic-looking tactical detail. In comparison, G.I. Jane and Charlie Sheen's Navy SEALs were high-budget, big-hype Hollywood disappointments -- all promise, weak game.
Shimon Dotan is the only director to have successfully translated on film the general public's fantasy of Navy SEALs in training and in action.
Admittedly, the development of the lead characters' personal lives is slow, flat and dull by comparison. But the action scenes are so darn satisfying, I don't care.
I just wish they made many more films like this one.
