    Wordiezett So much average
    Noutions Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .
    Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews
    Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
    tynandaken He raid that supposedly led to Bin Laden's death has been shrouded in mystery for over two years. Speculation that the Obama administration may have embellished or outright lied about the true account of what happened has persisted, mainly because the White House has refused to publicly release images of Bin Laden's body. Although the White House said the corpse was immediately "buried at sea" in line with Islamic tradition, it quickly emerged that this was not standard practice. Numerous analysts have claimed that Bin Laden had in fact been dead for years and that the raid on his alleged compound in Pakistan was little more than a stunt. Other questions also persist, such as why the narrative and timeline of the raid has changed multiple times, why the White House initially claimed that "situation room" photos showed Obama watching the raid live when in fact there was a blackout on the live feed, and why neighbors in the immediate area surrounding the compound said with absolute certainty that they had never seen Bin Laden and that they knew of no evidence whatsoever to suggest he lived there.
    SnoopyStyle The US government relies on two sets of skilled teams to take on various global threats. Deputy Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency Patricia Campbell (Anne Heche) leads a team of intelligence analysts in Washington. They organize the intel and the plans. Captain Adam Dalton (Mike Vogel) leads a team of special forces operators. They travel the globe to execute those plans.There are various military shows starting up on network TV. The quality of this one falls somewhere in the middle of that genre and got cancelled after 13 episodes. The Washington part is lackluster and the only performance of strength comes from Heche. There is nothing to that world other than people in suits in front of computer screens. The special forces team has a bit more personality. Vogel as the lead is functional although not that awe-inspiring. It's very questionable how this mostly white group operates around the world as a counter-espionage team. They are more than a shoot them up military team which is very dubious. A lot of their work would be done by a local team or in partnership with one. It's just as well that this got canceled.
    jaghatarepost The plot is overdramatic. The characters are overplayed, some more than others, expecially Hegel. I just can't stand the righteous imperialist feel this series gives you. And the feminist agenda is nothing but ouvert. And that wouldn't be a problem if it would be a natural part of an elite soldier's daily routine which it isn't. It's simply morally grandstanding through and through with no nuance.The fact that they can shoot through walls with the only help of cctv cameras and guideness from handlers half way around the world is the most believable part of this series.
    ajorjapeach I really enjoy the show. I know a lot of people have commented about the realism of it, but I watch TV to escape the real world, not relive it. I think the acting is superb and the storylines are interesting. All in all, an entertaining show with very likeable characters and you can root for!
