Factual errors: When the South Korean ambassador first talks to the US president, he mentions that he has observed US warships entering "the Sea of Japan and the Yellow Sea." South Koreans refer to these bodies of water as the East Sea and the West Sea, respectively, and they get very upset when anyone mentions them by their other names. more

I rather enjoyed the plot of the movie, but two things stood out as lackluster in my opinion. The first was the lack of solid character development. In the first BEL movie, we see a young hot-shot mature over the course of the film. This movie did not have the same sort of development. We don't know anything about the Seals going in, and we learn only a little from the inserted flashbacks.
My other issue was with the manner in which the movie was filmed. Considering that I watch movies to be entertained at a safe distance from any real danger, the decision to use a short, choppy action sequence film style made it very difficult to actually see what was going on.
On the whole, I thought the movie was a great experiment in real-world what-ifs. The military options presented where believable, and consistent with real life options. Pay close attention to the interplay between the various members of the military and the civilian leadership, as the movie offers an interesting look at the civilian control of the US military.
