The Finest Hour

Depicts the hard training and the dangerous jobs they do.

holds your interest, good storyline

This movie traces the lives of two navy seals buddies during operation Desert Shield or Desert Storm. It shows how these two buddies met, who they were, their lives as SEALS, the operation and the end of it all. Hammer played by Rob Lowe is the one who loves the job. He would put his life on the line for the SEALS any day and as the old phrase goes "wild horses could not drag me away". The other, Mesoley played by Gale Hansen is the more "it's a job" sort of guy he could take it or leave it. This movie explores these two men on a personal level. Hammer is the arrogant daredevil SEAL where Mesoley is the play it safe humble sort of SEAL their personalities contrast each other. The real victim of this story is played by Tracy Griffin, the woman torn between two lovers. The movie shows you quite a different side of war one from the perspective of someone who's been there. Its a movie that should be appreciated for its different view on the war and the affects it has on those who fight it. While it has everything you would expect as a war movie don't see it as purely a war movie this movie is more about two buddies caught in war and the price they had to pay for that war. I enjoyed this movie because it was different its not the average arrogant Navy SEALS movie definately worth a look if you're into that sort of thing.

I searched for this video for a while and finally found it used on amazon. Leary of buying used I had resisted for some time, but other than a few pause fuzzes that don't affect the watchability the tape was fine, and the movie was as good as I remembered. Action, adventure and a hot redhead combine to hold my attention. Classic military drama.

I hate to think this show represents the life and careers of Navy Seals well as is stated in other reviews. I would not recommend this show it really sucked. The action stuff at the end is ridiculous. I don't like the characters really the show is just stupid don't waste your time or money I know I regret it.

For a USCG family, this is the best. For any other family, it shows the wonder of this service. I love our service. Semper Paratus (Always Prepared).

Seemed like a very low budget production. Total lack of storyline. Many of the scenes did not make sense at all. Total waste of time.

i watched this movie when i was younger when it first came out and loved it and ever since i had been out on my own i have looked for this movie on DVD and can not find it. most all other movies in this world are on DVD why not this one?
