Nifty performances make this routine action flick better than it probably has a right to be.

[It] amounts to a less-than-involving two-hour commercial for the Navy.

Not entirely bereft of entertainment value, even if most of it comes in the "unintentional" variety.

They take their explosives and their silly roles much too seriously.

The film where we began to suspect that Charlie Sheen might not be as cool as we thought.

Like a real Navy SEAL, it does what it's supposed to do and gets out of there quickly, and doesn't remain in your memory for long.
