Navy Seals (1990)
Wants to be Top Gun
Unfortunately, one can see that this film wants so badly to be Top Gun.
Basically all aspects of this film (except for depicting Navy Seals instead of fighter pilots and things related to that) and especially the soundtrack seem to have better counterparts in Top Gun. If that wasn't the case and you added some realism, this movie would be significantly better.
Basically the biggest problem with this movie is that Top Gun did it better. Otherwise, it's just a switch-your-brains-off action flick that could use some realism.
Nazi Collaborators (2010)
Simplistic handling of subject casts doubt on series objectivity
The episode (#12) concerning Finland contains gross errors, misrepresents some subjects, grasps at straws at bewildering pace and, on the whole, seems tendentious, aimed at providing a biased view of the subject. It misses some very obvious points against the given view and interpretations of events, while providing a curious, single-threaded narrative that switches sides instead of providing objectivity using alternative explanations. This casts the whole series in a very suspicious light.
While the whole subject is definitely worth an objective look, I'm not sure this documentary series is up to the task.
