Since I am required to write minimum of 10 lines, and this garbage deserves not only a single one, I'll start with the following: 1. I voted AWFUL for this dreadful so called "movie".2. Let me explain why these turkeys Mr. David Varod produces are shot mainly in my beautiful homeland, Bulgaria (just in BTW, for the illiterate people around - this country is IN EUROPE, based north to Greece and has absolutely nothing to do with Mexico and Uruguay) Some years ago, NU Image has invaded our country and started making crappy mostly direct-to-video releases. Why here? Because here they pay derisively low fees to the Bulgarian crew and to the Bulgarian actors (most of them distinguished ones) which are, in many ways, better than most of their American colleagues. Personally I am ashamed of that fact. The reason is, of course, the greediness of the Americans involved and their wish to get most, if not all of the profit. Actually it would't be so bad if only the production wasn't so filthy and pale. There hasn't been a good picture shot here for years. At present NU image is being sued here over the very questionably purchasing of our national cinema production centre called Boyana Films. No doubt about it there has been corruption, there has been deceit, there has been a lies in this recent purchase. The Bulgarian cinema is dead. Long live the Bulgarian cinema!

Don't do that with this one.I happen to like many somewhat cheesy military/martial art movies, and thought this movie would be a harmless departure for an hour and a half or so. Don't be fooled: It does harm. This is one of those movies that makes you pick up a book by Steven Hawking and read a page of it to prove to yourself that you are not really that stupid. While I enjoy watching movies to escape for a while, I have never been so eager to return to daily life. Why is that? I'm glad I'm not those actors, and the director, and anyone else whose resume is forever soiled with this movie. (underline, italics, the lot) This movie is as uplifting as an episode of The Anna Nicole Smith show (no pun intended), because it makes you say to yourself, "No matter what kind of financial or personal problems I'm having in my life, it could be worse."The acting makes Lorenzo Lamas look like Laurence Olivier, and that whooshing sound was so obnoxious and pervasive that it became an in-joke with my friends to make that sound when reaching for car keys, pulling them out of pocket, inserting in ignition, turning to start, putting in gear, and finally looking back over shoulder and striking a pose. The guns that are used in the opening of the film are not SEAL weapons, not American military weapons, not foreign weapons, ...come to think of it, they're not weapons. They are quite obviously made of wood. They don't shoot blanks or even have moving parts. This, along with the previously stated exploding waterlogged vehicle gave me pause during the opening credits -- should I cut off a limb while watching this 'movie' to see which I regret more in the morning?I have to give this movie a 1 of ten because imdb doesn't go lower.I'm glad so many people have already stolen my thunder about this movie because I think to spend another minute on this gives the film far too much power over me, and it wins. But I'm still not this movie, so I win.

View MoreWhen you buy a film purely because you like one of the actors in the film, you're taking a risk.When the film is a movie where no-one apparently has a good word to say about it...well that's the point when you have to wonder if what you're getting is going to be worth it - even for that one actor.Such was my position with US Seals II. Everything I'd heard about it prior to my copy arriving had been less than positive and I was seriously starting to doubt my sanity when the tape finally arrived... ...And I was consequently very pleasantly surprised with what I found when I watched the movie. The plot was actually surprisingly workable; the acting wasn't bad and the martial arts action was outstanding - in short, it was everything I hadn't dared to hope for.Does it have bad points? Yes it does - I was disappointed in the way a couple of the characters were dismissed so quickly and the opening five minutes of action (which was not martial arts) had me rolling around laughing, and yes there are plot holes right left and center...but overall, it's entertaining.And at the end of the day, that's what a film is supposed to be.
