Editorial Review:
A Navy SEAL team is mobilized to free U.S. hostages in the Mideast. Armed with advanced weaponary, the SEALS burst into the terrorist stronghold where they find a cache of deadly Stinger Missiles. When the terrorists begin using the Stingers on civilian aircraft, the SEALS embark on a mission that can only end in death for either them or their fanatical adversaries.
Description of Navy Seals:
Navy SEALs are a top antiterrorist unit that goes anywhere (SEa, Air, or Land) to fight for and protect the American Way of Life. When a SEAL team rescues American hostages in the Middle East, they discover the terrorists have a warehouse of deadly Stinger missles. Rather than risking his entire team, Lt. Curran (Michael Biehn) orders his men to leave without destroying the Stingers. But when civilian aircraft start getting shot down--and when one of Curran's men is killed by terrorists--the SEALs make it their personal business to track down and destroy the deadly missles--and the fanatics who want to use them. Made in the Top Gun mold, Navy SEALS features stock characters (including Charlie Sheen's loose cannon) and at times seems like a recruiting film for the SEAL program. But the action sequences are well done (especially the final battle in war-torn Beirut) and the special effects and cinematography are first-rate. There's also a certain gung-ho, testosterone-driven, adrenaline-junky sensibility that seems appropriate to the sort of impossible missions SEALs are asked to do. It's a good time, as long as you don't take it too seriously. --Geof Miller
Navy Seals Reviews:
Navy SEALS 
2009-12-02 - Very cool, intense movie with alot of action. This movie shows what the US navy SEALS are all about. If you are asking how I know, Dont take my word for it. Take the arthor of the movies story line. It is none other than EX Navy SEAL Chuck Pfarrer the arthor of Warrior Soul: Memoir of a navy SEAL. Which is a very good book that is for sale on amazon.com. The movie is nonstop action from the begining to the end. Pick it up you will not be sorry you did.
Blast from the past! 
2009-07-09 - I purchased this dvd because it was one of my family's favorites when I was a kid - we were action film junkies! Now I watched it with my son and he liked it a lot too. Brought back good memories.
Top Gun With Flippers 
2009-02-17 - Good set dressing, locations and effects, but if you think you've seen this movie before, you have. It was called Top Gun. Lots of explosions and characters running here and there, but little else. I gave it two stars instead of just one since the camera did stay in focus throughout.

2008-01-20 - Thank-you Amazon for getting this DVD to me by Christmas! My husband loves this movie and I'll admit I enjoyed it, too. It was on cable TV, where he watched it several times and then he created a fussed when they took it off...it was then... I knew it was a great gift idea for him.
Charlie Sheen plays one of the elite Navy Seals sent on missions that were believable and so exciting (not his usual, silly comic role, but very serious). And his commander, Michael Biehn was right up there with Robert Redford appeal. Now, I even adore the Allstate spokesperson, who was also a Seal...trying to marry the girl he loved, but duty called.
The characters were amazing, yet showed their vunerabilities and were easy to become fond of, as you learned a little about each of their lives and how demanding and devoted a Seal's life must be.
Sure, it's a guy movie but trust me, there's enough attraction to keep a girl entertained.

2007-09-05 - Truly incredible performances by Charlie Sheen and Rick Rossovich. Rossovich delights the audience with his sleek and slealth role!
