What can I say about Act Of Valor?, it's a good action movie for a weekend. The performing of "CQB" by this warriors is very realistic and great (the shooting scene inside the in the house in the middle of the jungle and the chase after). I'm not going to criticize the performance of the NAVY SEALS like actors, after all, they are warriors and not actors. Mix real actors with real warriors in the same team was the solution. I can say that the plot it's terrible,is a complete cliché ! (For the people that compare the movie with a video game, a game like COD:MW2 have a better and more emotional script), behind this kind of operations, exists more interesting things and complex situations (like "Body of Lies" where you could see that "The War on Terror" is something incredibly complex and hard, and only in this way you could imagine that those teams must be leaded by very smart guys and not only somebody that know how to shoot good). Finally I can say that the movie have very interesting cuts, for example: the emerging submarine from underwater and the tiny boats approaching to him, to be picked up (something that looks definitely real and not CGI ). About the history, something very good was the link between the beginning of the movie and the end, and the detail of the Tecumseh's poem, is something very inspiring about the life, not only for a warrior, too for any common person .

The soundtrack is very good (In my opinion excellent), considering the budget for the movie and other details.
