Very Dumb Thriller
15 October 2003
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
