Act of Valor (R) Movie Review
Act of Valor(R) Movie Review
In the Philippines an ice cream truck is blown up in school
parking lot by a suicide bomber, killing the American ambassador. Two CIA agents, Ross and Morales, are suspicious about the bombing; they are suddenly
ambushed. Ross is killed. Morales is abducted and brought to a terrorist
compound in the jungle. A team of Navy SEALs are sent to recover her.
Staring active duty Navy SEALs, Act of Valor gives you an idea what SEALs do. Some might say that
the point of this film is to get you to join the military, but I don’t think
so. The director is trying to give a sense of what it’s like being a SEAL and
how self-sacrificing they are.
For an R-rated movie about SEALs, there wasn't much swearing that; I’ve heard more swearing in some PG-13 movies. As for violence, there’s lots of
shooting, but it’s not graphic. Agent Morales is tortured but you don’t see
that much of it (that’s a good thing!).
Critics have said that the SEALs acting was a little wooden; actually, compared with some Hollywood
actors, the acting wasn’t bad.
I think the film should have been based in Afghanistan
instead of the Philippines. Another
problem I had with this movie has to do with the two bad guys (Cristo and
Shabal). Abdu Shabal is a convert to Jihad, but it is unrealistic for a convert
to have become so powerful. Cristo-who is working with Abdu Shabal- is a
Jew who looks like he’s from a Hitler propaganda poster. In case you didn’t know Jihadists hate Jews.
Other than than the things I just mentioned, I thought Act of Valor was one of the
better action movie I’ve seen!
Thanks for reading,
