Review of Navy Seals

Navy Seals (1990)
3/10
Charlie Sheens Character Ruined the movie
27 May 2019
Michael Biehn's character said during the movie in a training montage that only 10% of recruits get to become Navy Seals. Remember that 90% of Navy Seal candidates are not good enough and fail the training.

In this movie there are three actions scenes. The first they are required to go in silently and extract some hostages and get out quietly without a shot fired. They are successful in doing this. Until Charlie Sheen's Character pulls out a pump action shotgun and shoots down a door with three shots for no other reason than he wanted everyone outside to hear them for a gunfight to kick off as he was craving an adreniline rush.

He causes directly a fellow Navy Seal to be shot and killed in this op. But because this was an unknown character at this point nobody seems to care and its just next day who cares.

Second mission, once again they need to silently extract someone without anyone hearing. This is all going to plan until Charlie Sheen's character wants a gun fight again so walks up to the enemy shooting him. He directly causes a second Navy Seal to be killed. Now cue 15mins of everyone being full of sorrow and teary eyes for this guy dying as he was known in the film up until that point.

Third mission, they need to quietly blow up a building. Charlie Sheen's character decides to shoot someone with the loudest hand gun he takes from his back pocket - when he has silenced gun on him already - and ruins that op too as everyone hears it and starts shooting. The main leader gets shot and is down for dead and Charlie Sheen disobeys further orders to just blow the building and to go in and get him out so they cannot blow the building till he does this.

This is meant to be the Navy Seals. And he is somehow the second in command of the team and any Navy Seal wouldn't want this guy coming within 500 miles of them as he seems to want to get killed everyone of his team mates and never follows orders. And yet he is deemed the hero of the movie. This guy ruined the movie for me as he was so annoying. It would have been a good movie with all the others but his character in it.
