Caught this movie just a while a ago, gotta say, it was better than i expected! This was probably cos i had heard from other friends that the show was kinda boring, and i guess that kinda put into my head that it wasn't all it was cracked up to be. :p
Again, if you're going into the show expecting lots of gunfights and explosions, then you'd probably be disappointed, this movie was more about (over 70% of the movie) how they came to track down the whereabouts of UBL (Or OBL to some of us). The buildup is good, and i guess the main character is pretty likeable too.
Having read the book "No Easy Day", i more or less knew what to expect on the assault itself, which is the final portion of the movie. The movie does take some liberties on the operation itself (like the backup chinooks which accompanied the main force, not present at all!) to keep the pace going, but most of the happenings in the book more or less took place on screen too.
I was reading from SOFREP, that some actual ex SOF people who saw the movie weren't too impressed with the tactics/movement etc, yes, i have to agree that although some aspects seemed messy to me (weapon discipline, you can see their IR lasers aiming everywhere, and noise discipline was non-existant), it was still acceptable to the myself just for the 'cool' factor, and it wouldn't have made a difference to a majority of the crowd anyways!
Oh, and remember, if some stranger gets into your house at odd hours, and calls out your name, for heaven's sake, DON'T peek out to take a look! :p
So catch this movie while you can, a good two thumbs up for this, Hooah!
