An elite counter terrorism force gets dropped behind enemy lines four days prior to Operation: Desert Shield. Tings go disastrously awry after their covert mission winds up being compromised.
Writer/director Mark C. Andrews really fumbles the ball something awful in every possible way: There's clumsy and excessive overuse of painfully obvious stock footage, tin-eared profane dialogue (it's best advised not to take a hit of your favorite hooch every time someone yells "Ooh-rah!"), lousy acting by a lame no-name cast, tacky CGI muzzle flashes, one-note macho meathead characters (raw rookie, tough seasoned leader, hot-tempered jerk, and so on), inept use of flashbacks, self-consciously flashy cinematography, heavy-handed cliché statements on stuff like courage, duty, honor, and necessary sacrifices (the whole business about the shooting of a little innocent boy is especially clunky and appalling, plus a simply dreadful last reel patriotic speech), and, worst of all, embarrassingly mawkish attempts at heart-tugging sentiment (did we need a back story on how the SEAL team commander lost his eight year old son in a tragic accident?). An absolute atrocity.
