Act of Valor (2012)

The story surrounds a terrorist cell that has networks around the world intent on causing mass casualties simultaneously in America. Their network is active and complicated. To begin they take out a CIA operative and take the other hostage; the torture that she has to withstand is sometime unbearable. To the rescue are our brave men of the Navy Seals. The action sequences used actual Seals and live rounds of ammunition. Of course there were actors covering the main rolls, but they, along with the plot, sucked. It felt very much like I was watching my childhood replayed on the TV, when we used to gather int he neighborhood and play "war". The dialogue was choppy and fake, and it felt tacked on as an afterthought to the superb action sequences. If you do watch this movie, be prepared fro brief interruptions of dialogue amongst an action packed adventure. It is rated R for torture and gritty war violence.
