This was such a kick ass reenactment put on by NatGeo. Fantastic cast, including Freddy Rodríguez, Xzibit, William Fichtner (Prison Break), Mo Gallini (24), Eddie Kaye Thomas (American Pie), etc. The blend of real-life footage and reenactment scenes shot specifically for the film give it a really great blend, and give the reenactment scenes a much more realistic feel, especially with the use of so much POV cams.

History buffs, political junkies, action junkies, etc. will all, IMO, find this quite entertaining.

Check your local listings for re-airings, as I'd imagine NatGeo will be running this a number of times in the coming weeks, despite the GOP's insistance that the release of this was designed to influence the elections (as if it's such a horrible tactic, even if it was, anyway).

Actors are used and the docudrama uses original footage and reenactments to tell the story of the SEAL Team Six members' preparation and implementation of the raid on the compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, where Osama bin Laden was found and killed. As it's not a straight documentary, artistic license is used to tell a compelling story.

Anyone else watch this when it aired last night? Thoughts?
