They then declare that, actually, they're the only ones who know how to do film criticism, and that they're not the new Siskel and Ebert - Siskel and Ebert were only the proto-Kill James Bond.

Abi also points out that the sound editor made the odd decision to put in the sound of screams, including ''children's'' screams, in the background, which combines to make the SEALS look less like heroes and more like a "death squad".
