Act of Valor (2012)
7/10
Real military existence with a very small dose of Hollywood dramatisation
25 July 2013
I have seen some of the low reviews for this film and they are obviously from people that have had too many Bourne, Rambo or Arnold movies, this film does have some glamorisation but in the whole, you see and feel what it is really like. You don't get to see a hero who never gets stuck in the thick of it, who isn't impenetrable.

There is a real world out there and this film mixes a bit of Hollywood glamour in very, and i mean very, small doses, and reality in larger doses without making it dark and depressing, this film focuses on REAL people.

I am an ex serviceman and this film for me was close enough without being melodramatic. To me there was a sense of REALITY about it, I always feel that their is no point weeping for the people we have lost, but weep for their family, left behind, that have a life time of their loss to face, this film brings that reality along for the ride.
