'Act Of Valor' Deserves Act Of Applause

      Act Of Valor is a good movie, but not great. It stars real-life active-duty United States Navy SEALs as they embark on a covert mission to rescue a kidnapped C.I.A. agent. It started off slow because they introduced each member of the team. To me, it looked like there were 2 teams and the men looked similar, mostly due to their haircuts. Eventually, the movie picked up the pace and got into the story (or mission). There were definitely scenes of adrenaline-pumped action and even some humor. Though these guys were SEALs and not trained actors, they didn't do too bad. Some people think that this movie was propaganda for recruitment. It may have been, but I think it was way more interesting. It didn't do too bad at the box office either; the $13 million budget raked in $65 million. I recommend seeing this movie. Fair warning: it's rated "R" for some blood and violence, of course. I give it 7/10 stars.
Below is a trailer.
