THE TENSION: Combat Camera: SWCCs, SEALs Bring Key West to Hollywood

[Tagger]

Saw it today with 4 family members . Even the wife liked it .. Only thing that had me scratching my head, is when a Seal gets shot with a rocket launcher, point blank in the chest . He was wearing a bullet proof vest , and the rocket didn't explode . So after it threw him against the wall on the other side of the room , he just pulled it out of the front of his vest and brushed it off ,. Really ?? I'm mean Really ?? kind of reminded me of the Roadrunner and the Coyote... Great movie if they had only edited that scene ..

Dud. Lots of duds the further you get away from civilization

I was looking forward to this .. I wish it was more about the Seals themselves . Would love to see some of the training process . A good friend of mine is a well decorated retired Navy Seal . I was skiing with him , and going up in the chair he told me Navy Seals taught him to ski . ?? Your kidding .. Nope Skiing and shooting ,, ain't easy getting your breath down to shoot .. We're talking about ski diving and he tells me he Had To jump into the Pro Bowl once . ( not to mention 13 campaign ribbons) These are some amazing people, a different breed ,, wish that came across more in the movie . Like it did in the trailer ..

[shark lobster]

great flick also , they used alot of live round shots ,, the thing with the rpg can happen and does happen more often than not ,,, but that scene was pure hollywood , but great show ,,, navy seals are bad ass

Just saw it. sickkk. A family friend is a boat crew operator that worked in junction with seal teams.He lives in alaska now teaching coast guard cold water survival. it was neat to get a glimpse, however real, of some of the things he's done. The whole process of the delivery of the boats, the assembly of the turrets, and when the extraction boats come in blazing all i could do was go bad azz
