Although this is supposed to be a fictionalized account of the OBL raid, they sure tried to mix in actual facts. I suppose that since I read "No Easy Day", the only and best account of what actually happened there, I can't help but laugh at the terrible technical errors depicted throughout the movie. I bet the Navy Seals thought this movie was a spoof or a comedy action. Here are a few that stand out to me (spoiler alert): no way would Seals go into a raid like this with guns blazing and holding flashlights to get around inside the house. They should have just had the actors wear glow-light suits. In reality, they wear night vision goggles and all have suppressors on their guns. That's why none of our guys were shot, the bad guys could not see the Seals. In fact, there were not many shots fired by the bad guys at all. I thought I was watching a WWII movie. Another laughable thing about this movie is it tried to give some character development by showing interviews with those involved. This event is not about a few characters, it was a coordinated effort that involved hundreds of people. But they chose to make a few people the heroes, most namely Obama. I like most of Weinstein Bros movies, but something stinks about this one. Anyone who saw this and has not read "No Easy Day" should read it, then tell me what you think about this garbage movie.
