It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

This film is abhorrent at best. The filming is nausea inducing shaky cam garbage for the majority of the film. The dialog and character development is a joke. This film isn't even on par with B budget action films of the 1980's. Do yourself a favor and take a fervent pass on this flotsam.

I took a quick look at the other user comments for this movie before writing this, and I saw that no one from South Korea (or for that matter North Korea) has so far contributed their thoughts. But I am pretty sure that any South Korean who sees this movie will feel as badly about this movie as I do. This movie is really badly made. The director CONSTANTLY jiggles the camera during the action sequences, enough so that these sequences are very hard to follow. He also photographs the majority of movie in ways that give the basic look of the movie a bland feeling, with nothing to capture the eye. But the screenplay has plenty of problems too. Would the U.S. military really enact a mission to North Korea without consulting the South Korean military/government first? And without taking any Korean soldiers with them for translation and other local problems that might come up? I'm no expert on the Korean situation or military procedures, but all the same this movie really insulted my intelligence.

To start off, i'll say what everyone else has, its not as good as the first, has nothing to do with the first, and the action is fairly weak. Though as its own film bearing no resemblance but the title to the 1st, its actually pretty good. This movie spends most of it's time focusing on the relationship between highly secret military operations, and the the politicians who authorized it.You have SEAL Team 1,The president, his advisers, and later on a South Korean ambassador, After the SEALS have been compromised the movie focuses on what options they have left, with a few bursts of action from the stranded SEAL team. It shows how they come to their decisions, what affects them, and what they have to consider, from being detected, to what happens afterward, and what if everything goes wrong and war breaks out. The main fault with this film is it has the overused gruff military stereotype known as General Vance who simply want to blow the s**t out of everything to move the political plot along, if there was a more reasonable commander it would've been a bit more effective.The action segment focuses on the SEALs attempting to survive behind enemy lines, with the main character often flashbacking to his training to help him survive. It's alright but not as cool as the original film where an entire army is hunting down one man. The actors play their roles very well, and their acting is very good but most of the characters don't get developed very far, the SEALs are badass(especially Keith David as the Master chief), the president is safety conscious, the General is a warmonger, and the SK Ambassador always complains about how the US government never takes the rest of the world into consideration, thats where the film tends to suffer.While not entirely accurate to the real world as we tend to see it, and with the action being sub-par and the very annoying color correction done to the N. Korean scenes making it look like a whitish green wasteland, i still enjoy watching this film. Fans of the original will be disappointed unless they have an open mind, but its not as bad as many seem to claim it to be, its a interesting thriller, addressing both military and political issues surrounding most covert ops, so give it a chance, its about 1.6 hrs long so even if you don't like it, it wont be a huge waste of time
