An unprecedented blend of real-life heroism and original filmmaking, Act of Valor stars a group of active-duty Navy SEALs in a powerful story of contemporary global anti-terrorism. Inspired by true events, the film combines stunning combat sequences, up-to-the minute battlefield technology and heart-pumping emotion for the ultimate action adventure. Act of Valor takes audiences deep into the secretive world of the most elite, highly trained group of warriors in the modern world. When the rescue of a kidnapped CIA operative leads to the discovery of a deadly terrorist plot against the U.S., a team of SEALs is dispatched on a worldwide manhunt. As the valiant men of Bandito Platoon race to stop a coordinated attack that could kill and wound thousands of American civilians, they must balance their commitment to country, team and their families back home. Each time they accomplish their mission, a new piece of intelligence reveals another shocking twist to the deadly terror plot, which stretches from Chechnya to the Philippines and from Ukraine to Somalia. The widening operation sends the SEALs across the globe as they track the terrorist ring to the U.S.-Mexico border, where they engage in an epic firefight with an outcome that has potentially unimaginable consequences for the future of America.

| HitFixDrew McWeenyIt's a Cannon movie from 1985, and not one of the good ones with Mickey Rourke or Charles Bronson but one of the supercrappy ones with Michael Dudikoff. |
| Epoch TimesMark Jackson'U.S. Navy SEALS in combat are far more than anything Hollywood could ever write,' said co-director Mike McCoy. The real SEALS in 'Act of Valor' demonstrate this to be true. |
| Cleveland Plain DealerClint O'ConnorWhat is it? Docu-drama? Re-enactment? Recruiting film? Yes. Along with several pulsating action scenes. |
| Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN)Bob Bloom"Act of Valor" smartly refrains from jingoistic flag waving. What it does is spotlight the quiet heroism of the men - and women - who fight and die to keep this country and us safe. |
| Film Journal InternationalDaniel EaganNavy SEALs span the globe fighting a terrorist plot. Ugly action outing notable for the gimmick of using real-life soldiers in the leads. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyDespite the hype and claim to "realness," this is a disappointingly messy and disjointed action war picture. |
| National Catholic ReporterSr. Rose PacatteI understand the film, but I didn't like it because it felt like a snow job to me, a recruitment movie. |
| Tri-City HeraldGary WolcottWhat makes the movie a good one is the non-actor SEALs. |
| Hollywood & FineMarshall FineIt's like watching The Expendables, without all the plastic surgery...At least it's not in 3D. |
