Movie Review: Act of Valor
Act of Valor is easily the most realistic combat film ever produced – nothing compares. The movie centers on a sequence of missions conducted by one team of the elite forces of the United States, the best of the best, the damn few Navy SEALs. To execute this film, directors Mike McCoy and Scott Waugh employed active duty Navy SEALs, incorporated real battle strategies, fired live rounds, and utilized current technology and weaponry in use today. Although the plot itself is not a reenactment of real events, writer Kurt Johnstad fabricated the plot from five true stories lived by these SEALs.
