THE ONLY EASY DAY WAS YESTERDAY.
The members of Navy SEAL Team Seven are deployed to free a CIA operative (Roselyn Sanchez) who’s been taken hostage, and later to take out a Chechen terrorist (Jason Cottle). An attempt to show the real work of Navy SEALs by inserting them into a fictive story involving terrorists and hostages in foreign countries. The result is a propaganda movie with unexpectedly intense action, but also characters that are empty clichés played by soldiers who don’t have the right stuff to make them seem genuine. The story is all over the place.
