Like, I haven't seen an action movie like this in a long time.
Why did you choose to do it?
And what made you think, you know what?
I can make this something special.
But just like you, I was at home as a kid playing Rainbow Six video game for hours where my mom would yell at me, boy, get off that damn game.
And I would be in there envisioning myself in these missions.
So when I had the opportunity to take a Tom Clancy favorite and John Kelly and give it a breath of fresh air, modernize it, make it more a reflection of the world that we live in today.
I mean, these type of movies are the things that I grew up watching.
Like, I love, like, action movies, you know?
So I was like, one day, I want to do my own action, you know, movie, and I'm gonna do my own stunts, and this was the one for me to check that box.
You trained with... Like, it was actual Navy SEAL training that you went through for this movie, right?
Really, every stunt that you saw, I had a specialist that I spent, you know, enough time to get comfortable with within the stunt and then went out and executed it.
One of the most terrifying stunts in the movie, and I won't spoil it for the people, involves you in the ocean underwater in a vessel.
I won't tell the people what vessel it is.
Don't want to spoil anything.
But, like, you just underwater for long.
The camera doesn't cut as well.
That's something I noticed.
We just follow you holding your breath, swimming underwater, swimming underwater, swimming.
And I was like, no, man, Michael didn't do this, but you actually did that.
