In Babylon 5, the Shadows were something like this, except that they weren't sealed by other people.It's debatable whether Peter Kramer was evil per say or just driven crazy by the Drake, but in any case, his spirit was locked inside a suitcase, which was then locked in a storage room in the basement that was bricked shut.666 Park Avenue: Whatever is in the Red Box that Shaw stole from Gavin.At best, this one is a bad made-for-TV movie. I'm probably being too hard on this movie, but i was expecting the production quality of the first Behind Enemy Lines. Instead they use the dramatic music like one would expect at the end of a film. An example would be when the Seals are sneaking up to the enemy at the missile site, where one might expect some quiet low key music. Music: They seem to have no clue about what music to use where. Overall, they deliver their lines with no conviction. I got the feeling I was listening to the production meeting run through. Acting: Most of the actors in the administration and Whitehouse scenes sound like they are reading their lines. The entire film is totally void of any emotion. I can only blame the generally poor acting on the director. Bruce McGill, who is a good actor, is a shadow of his ability. Directing: In one scene, the actor playing the main Seal, gets a nail or spike driven through his hand, yet hours later he is behaving like it was simply a paper cut or something. Some Koreans looked like Japanese, although I might be somewhat biased because I am surrounded by Koreans in K-town in Los Angeles. No country would ever elect this man President. Casting: Peter Coyote is totally unbelievable as President. Simplistic dialog for such a serious subject. Poor - Script, Casting, Directing, Acting, Scene music selection, Camera shake (I hate that overused and inappropriate camera shake) Script: Weak at best and unrealistic far to often. Because of BEL 1, I rented this movie expecting to see a quality film, but I was thoroughly disappointed - So much so, that it prompted me to write my first review. Reviewer Ash from Victoria, Canada, said "I'm not normally one to gripe about movies, hell i even liked Waterworld, but this movie redefined the idea of rubbishy over exposed b-grade actors pretending at being SEALs." and he took the words right out of my mouth.
