Much of the movie consists of pure action, punctuated by terse dialogue and few subtleties. We don’t get to know the characters as individuals, they don’t have personality traits, they have no back stories, they don’t speak in colorful dialogue, and after the movie you’d find yourself describing events but not people. Assuming that the characters described as SEALs were being played by real SEALs, all I can say is that they were convincing and weren’t asked to do any dramatic stretching they weren’t capable of.
