Review For Act of Valor
It's a furiously macho saga scripted by the screenwriter of 300 and starring real Navy SEALS, those always-get-their-man men of mystery. Roger Moore-McClatchy-Tribune News Service Fighting is a learned skill; so is acting. And the SEAL stars are plausible only when on maneuvers - performing as their own stunt doubles. Richard Corliss-TIME Magazine When the bullets are flying, Act of Valor is undeniably tense and thrilling. Chris Nashawaty-Entertainment Weekly I don't know what to make of Act of Valor. It's like reviewing a recruiting poster. Peter Travers-Rolling Stone The special ops missions are pretty amazing, but the SEALS as dramatic characters are under-developed. Richard Roeper-Richard Roeper.com The bad guys, who specialize in funny beards, funny accents, and shaved heads, would feel right at home in an Austin Powers movie. Peter Rainer-Christian Science Monitor Act of Valor is a love letter to servicemen but it's also a disjointed mishmash of slick combat sequences paired with awkward performances and a generic storyline. Ben Kendrick-ScreenRant The SEALs should stick to saving the world, and the movie makers should look at the differences between a movie and a recruitment video. Matt Neal-The Standard Although likely to delight patriotic American audiences, it will leave everyone else indifferent. James Luxford-The National Would be nothing worth writing about, or even making, without the novelty of seeing some of America's greatest heroes in action. William Bibbiani-CraveOnline It's very much a conventional thrill-ride action movie, though the claims to realism are undercut by too many video-game point-of-view shots as the soldiers engage the enemy. Jim Schembri-3AW May have you longing for an old-fashioned era of 'square' propaganda, when it wouldn't have been considered a cool recruitment strategy to acknowledge that U.S. troops use constant profanity and splatter opponents' brains against the wall. John Beifuss-Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) Made me yearn for the nuanced screenwriting of Battleship, the moderate politics of Transformers 3 and the versatility and range of Sam Worthington and Taylor Kitsch. Tom Clift-Moviedex Not so much a war movie as a tribute to the Commandos known as the SEALs, and to their bonds forged in battle, it's a sombre affair, immersing us in the culture of these specially trained soldiers. Indeed, the cast are made up of genuine SEAL team members Andrew L. Urban-Urban Cinefile If you like Act of Valor you may as well abandon drama for porn, because you don't like how the sex scenes feel fake. Blake Howard-2UE That Movie Show Since when did 'having the uniform at home' qualify as the only pre-requisite for someone's employment? If that has indeed become the case, you can look forward to my imminent casting in Easter Bunny: Origins. Simon Miraudo-Quickflix Directors Waugh and McCoy have obviously been to the Tony Scott school of sunset cinematography. Every other frame of this dawning drama has helicopters, surfboards, speedboats and submarines emblazoned with sparkling twilight. Brian Henry Martin-UTV Act of Valour might work as a recruiting poster for impressionable teenagers, but those who bravely serve in the armed forces deserve a better tribute that the naïve, sub-Team America nonsense served up here. Eddie Harrison-The List I guess they had to be realistic in order to make up for the dialogue, the acting, the special effects, the mawkishness, the closeted homoeroticism, the jingoism... Tara Brady-Irish Times A movie so hawkish and gung-ho that it makes John Wayne's The Green Berets look unpatriotic and Top Gun seem positively pinko. Jason Best-Movie Talk A distasteful and foolish film, a recruiting poster that might well carry the slogan "Join the Navy, Travel the World and Kill People". Philip French-Observer [UK] Without the skills of some big-name actors, the type whose magnetism has drawn generations of cinema-goers into cinemas, it's all curiously empty and uninvolving. Graham Young-Birmingham Mail Act of Valour is a dud. Frank Wilkins-Frank's Reel Reviews Act Of Valor essentially marries platitude with attitude, veering from the realms of wholesome all-American family life to bullets-raging battle scenes. Amber Wilkinson-Eye for Film It's like the game Call Of Duty, with worse acting and writing. Alex Zane-Sun Online
