1.0 out of 5 stars pseudo-documentary, May 27 2004

By

RPF - See all my reviews

This review is from: Inside Special Forces (DVD)

The information value of this so called documentary approaches 0.

No info on organisation, units, equipment or vehicles.
No maps of the places they supposedly are operating in.
No coherent story line for this documentary.

The people they interview, except Gen. Boykin, might just as well
be members of some militia, by the way they dress, act and talk.

The takes of the people are not very convincing,
the people may be dressed in military garb and have
all the latest M4 mods and Blackhawk webbing
but their stance and bearing is not befitting a war zone.
They lounge around and pose on their Hummers
like in a cheap war flic.
Either the locations were totally devoid of enemy or
the people are actually members of your local paintball club and
the scenes were shot in Texas.

The interviews are bad and have no informational value.
The scenes with the "operatives" are boring and have 0 action.

All in all very disappointing, I'm afraid.

Better purchase a military documantary from Discovery.com.

The one on US Navy SEAL BUD/S training is quite good and
would serve as a fine example how a documentary may be produced.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Truth at Last, April 20 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Inside Special Forces (DVD)

Forget the fiction you've seen. The men in this film are the real deal. This graphic documentary is first-rate. You meet these Special Ops characters up close and personal. You go with these guys and follow their story from the streets of Iraq and the deserts of Afghanistan to their secret headquarters. What's particularly great is that they are often far from what you'd expect. But it makes you feel better to know they're there. This film also traces the history of Special Forces. If I had one complaint, I would have liked to have seen more interviews with the individual troops. But overall this film delivers big time.
