An elite team of Navy SEALs embark on a covert mission to recover a kidnapped CIA agent.
An unprecedented blend of real-life heroism and original filmmaking, Act of Valor stars a group of active-duty Navy SEALs in a powerful story of contemporary global anti-terrorism. Inspired by true events, the film combines stunning combat sequences, up-to-the minute battlefield technology and heart-pumping emotion for the ultimate action adventure. Act of Valor takes audiences deep into the secretive world of the most elite, highly trained group of warriors in the modern world. When the rescue of a kidnapped CIA operative leads to the discovery of a deadly terrorist plot against the U.S., a team of SEALs is dispatched on a worldwide manhunt. As the valiant men of Bandito Platoon race to stop a coordinated attack that could kill and wound thousands of American civilians, they must balance their commitment to country, team and their families back home. Each time they accomplish their mission, a new piece of intelligence reveals another shocking twist to the deadly terror plot, which stretches from Chechnya to the Philippines and from Ukraine to Somalia. The widening operation sends the SEALs across the globe as they track the terrorist ring to the U.S.-Mexico border, where they engage in an epic firefight with an outcome that has potentially unimaginable consequences for the future of America.
&quot;Act of Valor&quot; was a very anticipated film for me. The thought of using real Navy Seals as characters in a war/action film sounded very intriguing, but then my hopes were slightly lowered when I read reviews regarding their acting and the writing of the film. I never would&#39;ve thought this movie would receive the negative reception that it&#39;s currently getting, and frankly, I was kind of scared when I went to see it. Well, the good news is that I didn&#39;t hate it. The bad news is that it could have been so much more than what it already was.<br/><br/>Let me start out on a positive note and say that as an action film, &quot;Act of Valor&quot; is completely watchable. The action sequences are very well staged and given the amount of carnage, it was nice to see some impressive and steady camera work for once. One may argue that the film works more as an action thriller than a war movie with a political message, but it is what it is. Don&#39;t expect realism that was seen in, oh, &quot;Saving Private Ryan&quot; or &quot;The Hurt Locker&quot;. But hey, I didn&#39;t mind that, because on a technical standpoint, the film is well done.<br/><br/>While the action is fun to watch, the same can&#39;t be said for the Seals. All of the things you have been reading about the Navy Seals and their acting is sadly true. It&#39;s not the worst acting I&#39;ve ever seen, but it certainly did not impress me either. There are times where it comes off as decent, and there are times where you&#39;ll be rolling your eyes. Even the dialog comes off as laughable. With all of the mediocre-at-best acting and writing, there&#39;s also not much reason to care for the Seals or even the story for that matter, and it&#39;s even worse how the most interesting and compelling character is the villain.<br/><br/>It&#39;s sad to say such things about a film that had such potential, but I guess we can&#39;t all be winners. While not as bad as some may have said, it&#39;s certainly nothing special. If you are looking for an entertaining action film and you don&#39;t mind bland acting/dialog and stiff characters, I say take your chance. Otherwise, &quot;Act of Valor&quot; only makes for a forgettable, if not horrendous, piece of entertainment.
Too much time is wasted in most of these reviews complaining about the quality of the SEAL acting. As compared to what? Oh, other melodramatic conceits where the starting point is the &quot;interesting psychodynamics&quot; of the hero, who is almost always haunted by tragedy or loss, an alcoholic, or has someone&#39;s idea of a fascinating flaw. That, however, misses the point about high-speed operators. They don&#39;t have flaws. They are bland. They are shallow. They believe the clichés. They are not interesting. They&#39;re men with incredibly high levels of IQ and testosterone, and technical capability, no doubt a kind of body genius. Think of elite athletes. How interesting are they? Not very. They&#39;re only interesting in action, as with SEALs. The movie captures this dimension in a way no concocted melodrama ever has. The ironists out there don&#39;t like the fact that Rorke carries a flag into battle and that Chief has five kids and a happy family life; however that&#39;s more realistic by far than giving Rorke a drinking problem and making Chief a wife beater. Ironically, the personalities of the &#39;40s and &#39;50s war movie heroes were probably a lot closer to the reality than the subsequent imaginings of neurotic men in battle. The neurotics crack early; the solid guys kick in the door and get it done, and when it&#39;s over they say boring things. The movie gets that, even if too many fools in movieland don&#39;t.
Act of Valor will likely earn high praise from combat veterans and their families, the way movies like "Fireproof" and "Seven Days in Utopia" resonate with Christians. Civilians, movie critics and certainly pacifists won't be nearly as impressed.
Yes, they are. They are not named in the film&#39;s credits, however. Yes. Christo is based on Viktor Bout, a notorious Russian billionaire currently awaiting trial in the US for black market arms dealing. Like Christo he enjoyed an immensely lavish lifestyle, ran his own fleet of smuggling planes, skilfully circumvented international law and ruthlessly sold to the highest bidder. He also inspired Nicholas Cage&#39;s film Lord of War. Abu Shabal is based on Shamil Basayev, Chechen terrorist leader and Jihadi who amongst other atrocities was responsible for the 2004 Beslan School massacre. Like Shabal he advocated the indiscriminate mass killing of civilians using explosive vests and utilised the wives of his dead fighters as suicide bombers, nicknaming them &quot;Black Widows&quot;. He was killed in 2006 by an explosion during an arms deal, possibly assassinated by the Russian secret service. The Rocket-Propelled Grenade (RPG-7) is expelled from the launch tube by a primary charge and then carried towards the target by a rocket motor. However, the rocket motor doesn&#39;t initiate and the armour piercing warhead doesn&#39;t arm until it is some distance from the launcher so that the firer isn&#39;t killed by the backblast or a premature detonation. When the SEAL is struck by the warhead he is so close to the firer that the rocket motor hasn&#39;t kicked in yet and the warhead hasn&#39;t had time to arm so his body armour is able to save him. The SEALs not only rescued Morales but were able to recover the Blackberry phone belonging to Christo&#39;s henchman. This is a crucial plot point as the information they recover from it leads them to the arms transfer in Somalia and Christo&#39;s yacht in the Pacific. Terrorists worldwide from the IRA to the Viet Cong to Al-Quaeda have a reputation for obsessively writing their plans down, the SEAL&#39;s killing of Osama bin Laden was not nearly as important in the War on Terror as their recovery of his mobile phones, laptop computers etc which provided invaluable information on his organisation.

Presumably it must have been surgically re-attached. Several alterations were made for the international cut of the movie: some of the footage was either cut out or re-dubbed for international markets which mitigates the movie&#39;s message. Sometimes there is the exact same dialogue happening during an entirely different shot. Mostly the offscreen comments were changed but there are also five altered scenes resulting in a time difference of almost 1 minute between both versions. a5c7b9f00b
