Frans B @FransB Mar 15 The huge discrepancy between the "critics" and "audience" here must mean something? Great effort in directing by McCoy and Waugh, capable cast a bit underutilized, writing could be better but overall not half bad. Clear and concise dialogue, as it should be, not to be mistaken for "bad acting". Great cinematography and visually appealing. Enough action, drama, suspense, emotion, twists and intrigue. Does have a "real world" feel to it, which is very nice. The fact that real SEALS were used in movie gets an extra point from me. Entertaining See more Matthew T @RT22733965 Sep 20 Great movie. Absolute must watch! Im surprised nobody is mentioning in the reviews that the Seals in this movie are played by real Navy Seals. Some retired and some active duty. See more Gregory S @Gregory566 Sep 1 The critics continue to illustrate how inept they really are. Is this a great movie? No Is it a truly accurate account? No But, it’s an awesome depiction of the brother and sisterhood of Service Members.

I’m one of the 72% that liked the movie.

Meanwhile, CIA agent Walter Ross (Nestor Serrano) is murdered and his partner Lisa Morales (Roselyn Sanchez) kidnapped and tortured by the men of the drug smuggler Mikhail "Christo" Troykovich (Alex Veadov). In California, a SEAL team is on vacation with their families and Lt. Roarke (Rorke Denver) and Chief Dave (Dave) are best friends. Roarke tells Dave that his wife is pregnant, and he wants to be with her in delivery. But soon their team is assigned to travel to Costa Rica to rescue Lisa Morales. They succeed and when the Intelligence acknowledge the information in her cell phone, they learn that Christ and Shabal are childhood friends and Shabal is plotting several terrorist attacks in the United States with a dangerous vest. Now they need to hunt down Shabal around the world. “Act of Valor” (2012) is an American movie directed by Mike McCoy and Scott Waugh with breathtaking action scenes. However, the screenplay is not good, and the acting is terrible in general. Roselyn Sanchez, Alex Veadov and Jason Cottle are exceptions and is hard for a foreigner to understand the speaking of most soldiers that seem to be reading the lines. Anyway, it is an enjoyable storyline. My vote is seven. Title (Brazil): “Ato de Coragem” (“Act of courage”) My Blog: https://maniacosporfilme.wordpress.com/ See more dave e @caseyeisenman May 11 Had this been a true story to the tee, it would probably get a higher critic rating. However, I enjoyed the combat scenes as they were shot very well along with great sound. They used grenades much more than soldiers do in real life, but I always scream at the screen throw a grenade damn it! Good marine film. See more Read all reviews
