I wish someday Hollywood would make a realistic movie about small unit jungle patrolling in Vietnam (not the line doggies in large infantry sweeps - I'm talking about U.S. Army LRRP or Marine Force Recon teams). It won't happen, of course, because the market demographics are not there for it to be profitable as movie. They would have to tack on some utterly asinine romantic subplot to try and attract some female viewers, and the whole thing would go to hell from there. But still, I can wish. Not to piss you off, but that's never gonna happen. Too long ago and poor outcome. If they accurately portrayed a recon mission, the film would bore the audience. This^ My peacetime service in a recon platoon was peaceful. Our training and mission was to AVOID contact. If we got in contact, we screwed up. Of course, we still trained to break contact and evade. We had 8 sixties and 203 s in a platoon to help us do that..... 
Good Recon would make a boring movie..... |

Heat is number one especially on a big screen in HD
Tears of the sun was well done but not as good as Heat Look at Proof of Life with Russel Crowe it was a pretty good snatch and Grab rescue mission. And Act of Valor get a nod cause well it was pretty fucking sweet. |

No one thought Tears of the Sun's combat was hokey? Trying to recall the details, but from what I remember it was typical Hollywood fireballs from napalm missiles and back yard rocketry rpgs. I would have to watch it again to bring up the rest of the discrepancies, but it was far from the best in my opinion.
It's got to be BHD or Act of Valor. |

I agree with ATACORION.
The Heat bank robbery shootout is essentially breaking an ambush. McCauley and Shiherlis lay down heavy fire and overpower the line of police cars to break out of the trap. |

There was a short scene in the tv series Tour of Duty where they were being pursued and dropped off either side of the trail for a hasty ambush initiated with grenades- seemed semi-plausible. I know- not a movie, but I was shocked and pleased to see the scene.
