Review of The Seal

The Seal (1981 TV Movie)
6/10
Decent little TV movie.

I remember watching this on TV, though I saw it only once and don't recall many details. Ron Ely is a former Navy SEAL, in what was probably the first Hollywood reference to that unit, which was purposely unsung in mass culture. It took a little research to understand what SEAL even meant, at that time (SEa Air/Land). Anyway, he is pulled into a situation involving some bad men and uses his combat skills to take them out. I do distinctly remember Ely pushing a hidden button to reveal a hidden arsenal.

The film was decent for TV, but nothing spectacular, which is probably why it fell into obscurity. I suspect it was a pilot for a TV series that didn't sell (on of many). If you come across it, it's a decent way to kill a couple of hours.
