A realistic and almost documentary film, including moving images with a camera on the shoulders. As the valiant men of Bandito Platoon race to stop a coordinated attack that could kill and wound thousands of American civilians, they must balance their commitment to country, team and their families back home. Each time they accomplish their mission, a new piece of intelligence reveals another shocking twist to the deadly terror plot, which stretches from Chechnya to the Philippines and from Ukraine to Somalia. When the rescue of a kidnapped CIA operative leads to the discovery of a deadly terrorist plot against the U. S., a team of SEALs is dispatched on a worldwide manhunt. The widening operation sends the SEALs across the globe as they track the terrorist ring to the U. S.-Mexico border, where they engage in an epic firefight with an outcome that has potentially unimaginable consequences for the future of America. At the beginning the elite team of Navy SEALs embark on a covert mission to recover a kidnapped CIA agent: Roselyn Sanchez. The only easy day was yesterday !.

The motion picture was professonally made by Mike McCoy and Scott Waugh, though with no originality. Waugh is sibling of Ric Roman Waugh , another nice director. Scott Waugh is a good artisan who has directed a few films , most of them spectacular and successful action movies , such as : Expend4bles (2023), Hidden Strike (2023) , 6 Below: Miracle on the Mountain (2017), Need to speed (2014), and Act of Valor(2012) . Rating : 5.5/10. Well worth watching for the warlike films fans.
