Looks good, but it will be a little while before I see it.

As Act of Valor developed with the SEALs on board as advisors, the filmmakers realized that no actors could realistically portray or physically fill the roles they had written and the actual SEALs were drafted to star in the film. The SEALs will remain anonymous, as none of their names will appear in the film's credits.

Considering "Act of Valor" hasn't been advertised (to my knowledge), the big Bellevue Lincoln Center had shows running every 2.5 hours in two theaters (there are 16 theaters in this Center)....The movie is 115 minutes long, and JUST EXCELLENT.....The theater we were in was more than half full....many people were slow to leave the theater, and many of us had teary eyes.

Because we knew these were real SEALS acting their parts, I came out wondering how we as a Country are fortunate enough to have such brave men, doing such brave things while protecting us....

A Pox on any so called movie critic that pans this movie....those people aren't worthy of even polishing these men's shoes.
