Personally I hink he's a good actor.

And if the SEALS themselves say he portays them right, then who am I to argue.

Mind you, he does seem to be typecast as one. The Rock, Navy Seals, The Abyss etc etc.

I still think directors cut of AlienII is one of the finest sci-fi films ever.

Aaaah Aliens Two is a great film and I'm strangely attracted to Sigourney Wever mincing about in grey pants - sigh.

Agreed on A2. Been a while since I've seen The Rock. did he play one of the 'rogue' SF troops in blue urban or the 'good' SF troops in boring black?

Two be honest both movies demonstrated teamwork from small teams (arcs, room clearance, movement) which I couldn't fault too much with my limited knowledge.

Yeah, I remember. Loads of 'you put your gun down, no you; don't point that thing at me.' Note to self, check if you've got it, if not go and buy!

Thinking of the above reminds me of the scene in reservoir dogs about 'Fat Eddie' and pointing a gun at his 'daddy'

Earlier there were some top posts on the "training" films. Did no one have to sit through the mind bendingly boring film about body heat loss and how to wear the correct kit so you don't die of hypothermia. It was made more enjoyable by seeing David Jason in his keks! Great stuff that!
