OK, while this is a great guy flick, (guns, explosions, etc) it is a horrible military film. They keep referring to Tyler Christopher's character as "Captain" when his correct rank (according to both NAV Reg's and the railroad bar insignia on his collar) is Lieutenant. his number 2, would either be a Lieutenant J.G or and Ensign. There's just one more problem, Tyler Christopher's character also informs his CO that he intends to murder their guide. Not that I have a problem with killing terrorists, but still, come on. Another problem is, there is no USS Truman. The USS Harry Truman is an Aircraft Carrier, not a Battleship. Also, Battleships are named after states, not Presidents.

Shot in English with a largely Bulgarian crew, "Frogmen" is a fair medium-budget commando-type action film. The script has one good plot twist in the middle, and tries to make the main villain at least two-dimensional, by giving him a motive of personal revenge (instead of mere greed) for his terrorist actions. The cast is largely unknown (though apparently the lead has been a regular in "General Hospital" for 13 years!), but they do their job. The action itself is mostly by-the-numbers (and the underwater sequences suffer, as usual, from the limited visibility), but the film certainly doesn't skimp on the explosions. Passable if forgettable fare. ** out of 4.

It's a pretty straightforward action film. The U.S. Seals are sent to capture the terrorist "Casper". The acting is not very good, but it's not surprising since this is a B action movie. The actor that plays "Casper" was the most watcheable because his acting was better than the rest. It was an OK time waster.The criticism that I have for this film is that the night shots were just awful. Especially the shot of the Seals underwater. I couldn't see anything except little flashes of light and I didn't understand the dialogue. It was so frustrating I nearly turned off the film. But once the night scenes and underwater scenes were over, the film was decent. The fighting scenes were exciting and there were some spectacular explosions. It's a typical movie that guys love, I think.I enjoyed it for what it was. Nice movie to rent if one is stuck at home with a twisted ankle, like me.

I really do get the feeling that the producers of FROGMEN OPERATION STORMBRINGER haven`t been doing their current affairs home work . A navy SEALS team is sent to capture Casper " The world`s most dangerous terrorist " . First of all what self respecting terrorist calls himself " Casper " ? It conjures up images of a friendly ghost . I guess the producers were aware that having an Arab terrorist might be a little too near the knuckle so they`ve gone out of their way not to make this film too realistic which explains the errors of having Russians and Albanians on the same side , of America being involved in UN peace keeping in Bosnia before the Dayton peace accord etc . This isn`t a film that`s marketed as realistic and probably isn`t as bad as the big budget BEHIND ENEMY LINES farce , but even so I`d have thought America`s finest would have recognised the world`s most dangerous terrorist when they spotted him which gives an indication of how dumb this film is Something I wish to point out is that the version I saw on Sky movies must have been re-edited in some way . One commentator mentioned a UN patrol being ambushed by the SEALS . The version I saw has them landing at a destination where a truck is waiting for them and no point do the SEALS jump a UN patrol . There also seems other bits missing which leads to some plot holes like how can a small rubber speed boat cause a massive explosion
As I said , a very dumb thriller
