    Ah yeah, that has always been my 1st dream job, a sniper. I use to pride myself how after loosing sight in my right eye at age 10 and being right handed I taught myself to shot left handed and use to be damn good at laying on my back and shooting pine cones and a few little feather friends out of the tree. lol I got pretty high marks in the rifle class I took also when I was around 12. Good times.

    i was on a biz trip with 3 male collegues and they all wanted to see it (and there wasn't much else in the theaters). I just didn't know what to feel like when I left. The movie cost 9 bucks, the popocorn was 4$ and the popcorn was really good

    they were genuine navy seals...not hollywood actors acting like a navy seals, which is why I think it seemed so long betwen the opening scene and the end. I really liked the popcorn It had been awhile for movie style popcorn with that movie style butter. : ))))

    i put the movie on my phone and watch it during my cardio. which means i watch the movie in several 25-30mins segments. watched the first segment yesterday. a little slow, one ice-cream truck surprise, one lazy beach party, thats it for the first 25mins. i shall find out about the next 25min later today.

    Good movie IMO.. It didn't have the best laid out plot n was a bit hard to recognize specific individuals at times, but the action n weapons were great.. Real explosions, sweet firearms, n lots of action is what it was all about. If I wanted a deep plot I wouldn't have picked an action film.

    I do object to using "real" navy seals in the movie though. These guys are heroes, the best of the best combat trained killers around and should be respected n treated as such. Not be used as pawns to make Hollywood more $$.. Their Navy Seals not fvcking actors!

    It seems the "real" navy seals didn't object.

    I don't know....

    if body builders and movie actors can be politicians,

    then why can't the reverse be ok

    and "heros" and seals be movie actors

    I have a great deal of respect for these men n by using them in a movie I believe it downplays their importance. In my mind it is disrepectful to these soldiers to have their titles exploited by Hollywood to make some directors a large paycheck. Did the soldiers/actors receive a nice paycheck? I'm sure. But I am talking about the Seals as a whole, not these individuals who were involved.

    Arnold lost a lot of respect from me and many others when he became governor n started lying about his past n turned his back on those who really valued him.

    Politicians are the scum of the earth IMO.

    I wasn't diggin on the navy seals.....nooooo not that!!! i was surprised they were allowed to participate. openning plot great, could relate to the agent. love the action and did alittle research about the pins, cuz it was moving scene. luved the Yacht scene but of course, I like when the bad guys lose

    saw TED last week for that deep, contempative plot

    someone here was recommending it. Although I enjoy Mark Walburg, I'm highly skeptical about this flic as I typically dont' watch too many comedies. What did you think?

Good times.
    I shot a humming bird out the air wizzing by one time at something like 25 or 30 feet one time.

    btw... finally saw this movie. I appreciate it having real soldiers, instead of wannabes acting the roles like Tom Cruise
