A rich plot with landings, chases, shootouts and various risky operations, with smugglers, poachers, pirates and special agents, with failures, exploits and even the death of beloved heroes. And with some amazing level of unprofessionalism of the personnel. There are many actions and events, but they often develop quite predictably.
It's well done, and the installation is good. They didn't skimp on filming - they shot a lot at sea and in the extraordinarily picturesque corners of Queensland, and in the frame there were operating vessels of the Australian navy. Plus authentic interiors, props and costumes. They play normally, the characters are non-static, without much layered depth, but with their own personality. Dialogues don't shine, and they shouldn't.
It turned out to be a cheerful, brave, very cinematic, sleek, noticeably "garish" and, a little less noticeably, an advertising and propaganda thriller with cute and surprisingly incompetent characters, with the hardships of service and the complexities of personal life, with a catchy naval flavor and gorgeous nature shots, real ships, boats and all sorts of naval stuff and gizmos.
Language. They speak simply and quite clearly, especially with subtitles. The vocabulary is uncomplicated, the slang of the Australian Navy turned out to be uncomplicated, and there were almost no terrible accents.
They act like a group of stupid kids in a typical horror movie))
