Is act of valor a true story8/3/2023 To quote Team America “It’ll be 9/11 times a hundred!” During the extraction, the SEAL team discovers a much larger and more dangerous plot directed right at major cities in our good ol’ U-S-of-A. The character development and plot are unfortunately pretty thin, revolving around a SEAL team sent to rescue an undercover CIA operative posing as a nurse for a known bank-roller of terrorist activity. Act of Valor pulls it all together fairly well to be a unique emotional experience, elevated by real-life heroes using cutting-edge technology in some of the most visceral military combat scenes put up on the screen. But choices made by the directors, such as casting real currently enlisted Navy SEALs in the main roles and using actual live ammunition in many shots and actual SEAL military tactics, adds a layer of intrigue to the movie that forces you to view the film in a different way than your average military flick. It most certainly isn’t a documentary film (the story is fiction) even though it’s shot like one and it’s not really good as a scripted action film. Act of Valor is an interesting conundrum of a film to review.
