never a contender for an academy award, this movie has some terrible acting...but i didnt care because the bullets dont stop flying. great fun-just like watching a movie version of call of duty!
Heard allot of positive things about Act of Valor before I went to see it. Was wondering though how "real" Navy Seals can transform into professional actors for a major feature movie like this... after seeing it, I can come to two conclusions... firstly, Navy Seals really are "experts at becoming experts" and secondly they played "real" seals, not a "Charlie Sheehan Mockup" of what a Navy seal is in the mind of a Hollywood script writer... in essence, they played themselves...
I have to say, no war movie can truly depict in my view what happens in war, but this is by far the best mix of reality and acting that leans on the real life heroism of these guys for a story that kept me on the edge of my seat...
5 stars for an amazing war movie!!..
Put simply, it's a movie for the first person shooter generation, even the scenes are set out like the levels of a game. However I think there is enough about this movie which would extend to the "neutral" as well.
Over all it's all very slick (aside from some of the acting) and the cinematography/production is top notch. At times it reminded me of Mann's Miami Vice in terms of realism and the feeling of being there too. As war movies go, it's not as epic as Saving Private Ryan but a hell of a lot more exciting and engaging than the likes of Hurt Locker.

i like ward themed films / action movies and if you do then youll love this. yeah theres no super star cast but it doesnt need one and the storyline and acting does get better. trust me. if you love action films and games that are FPS youll love this. the sound is great on surround sound and the effects and stunts are brilliant too. your neighbours will be asking you to turn this one down so dont answer the door!!
