Good pilot. Loved how the lead officer dealt with the suit stiffs and took out the terrorists singlehandidly. Could this be a hit like "24"?

They actually showed Middle Eastern types getting sprayed with bullets for terrorizing Americans.
Plus Lonnie Lardner?

Hit.

I thought it sucked!! The lead and the lead's wife are way too stiff! And what the hell is up with a HAHO into an airstrip in Idaho? Was it the ONLY airstrip in the state? And I know Rangers are good, but c'mon... going straight from the Nat'l Guard to working with Delta... clearing a plane... in five min with no training? And how about the kill shots on the spotters? It was a friggin' .22 cal. Not very lethal unless used just right and definitely not from that distance. What was up with the opening scene? Lazing the target from the middle of town? What... no roof tops, open windows facing that way, mountains outside of town with a clear view? About the only thing I bought was the ending when the lead guy shot the mirror. Heard plenty of Spec Ops guys doing that very same thing. Totally unbelievable and absolutely absurd. Trash!

Loved it!!! I kept finding myself chuckling to myself by the way the lead (Haysert) handled himself. Better than anything hollywierd's put out in a while.

Completely believable? Maybe not, but neither is 24. Entertaining? Absolutely! Respectful of our military? I thought so.

I'll be watching it again.

There's a guy on the show who does those insurance commercials. It was hard for me to watch the show and not think "Hey, it's that guy from the All State commercials." Hopefully I didn't ruin it for anyone, but this is the guy:

Can anyone say posse comitatus? Here the army ranger guy tells the FBI man that he will kill them if he tries to stop them from saving the day.
