a5c7b9f00b A team of elite US Navy SEALs is called when an undercover CIA agent by the name of Lisa Morales is kidnapped, and almost beat to death. The team of guys responsible for the kidnapping end up correlating to two men who construct a devastating plan to rebel against America, by means of terrorism. Once again, the SEALs are brought in to attempt to neutralize the enemies.
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.
The Fact the 'actors' are real deal seals makes it the more odd. That they would think this poor story blatant US propaganda was OK to put their names too. Stuns me! I like to think that if British SBS did such a thing they would be charged. That they are still serving and don't mind their faces plastered all over a film makes me wonder what covert ops they can be part of now. The kudos is in the faceless mystery. As for the film. So so story and acting. Good live firing and movement. Over sentimental. Obvious propaganda. And mostly highly unlikely scenarios. Eg why halo drop troops in with all risks when yu are chinook dropping assault boats 20 min away. Rubbish. !!! And why tit about in Mexican border tunnels fighting with cartels. Just put troops on USA side and wait. I am sure they know where tunnel comes up
I didn&#39;t have high hopes for this film, and whilst it plays just like a US Government recruitment ad for the US Military (I think I might join up) with screen play just like Modern Warfare of the PS3 (Same first person game play and hazing when your shot), it was an amazing high adrenaline film, great great action set pieces… very little plot and character setting, just straight to the action. <br/><br/>Real life serving Navy Seals played the main leads, and whilst they are a little wooden and the script poor the scenes feel extremely realistic and genuine (apart from the fact that no civilians get hurt, and every shot is a head shot).<br/><br/>My only other moan would be that it is very high on the cheesy American propaganda chart, but ignore that and see the film for a short period of escapism and you wont go far wrong…. great :-)<br/><br/>In fact its plain war porn!!
Act of Valor is like watching the wrestlers in dramas produced by the WWE: They're great at what they do, but being in front of the camera isn't part of that.
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.
