    • Trivia
      Sam claims he only taught the "terrorists" plays from the junior varsity football team from Analy High School. Matt Nix (creator of Burn Notice) graduated from Analy High School in Sebastopol California.
    • Goofs
      Naval Officers do not wear black shoes with the white uniform the shoes should be white. As a commander his cover (hat) should have "scrambled eggs" on the visor. The shoulder boards were not properly attached. While the are times when it is proper to salute indoors, Naval personnel never salute without being covered (wearing the hat).

    Fun to see Sam Axe back story.
    Our family was thrilled to see that we'd be getting more of Bruce Campbell as Sam Axe. He did a good job with the material. You definitely see his Burn Notice character's core integrity in this.

    The writing has some funny and some drama, but at times was a bit obvious and clunky. The only thing that really nagged me was the shrewish attitude of the lead female. Don't know if she was directed to play it that way or if it was the writing, but it was annoying.

    Some of the other posters commented on the CGI. I didn't really care about that. You still get the gist of the action regardless.

    Overall, it's worth a look to get the back story on a popular character. And get more Bruce Campbell in your life.

    FAQ2

    • When Sam is in his "whites" before the other Navy Officers, why isn't he wearing the SEAL Trident?
    • Was Sam still wearing his side arm when he returned to the Columbian forces after being "kidnapped"?
