Let’s start with the Seals who shall remain nameless. It’s up to the Seals to thwart not only an attack on America but potential global war. With the rescue of Morales, and other intel, it doesn’t take long before the pieces of the puzzle start coming together and the global scope of what is about to unfold becomes known. Shabal, on the other hand, has dreams of killing millions and destroying the United States by any means necessary. Christo is just out to run guns, drugs and whatever else will rack up cash and allow him to continue to live a life of luxury. Meanwhile, high powered meetings are taking place across the globe between a man named Christo and a wacked out Osama bin Laden look-alike, Shabal. With precision planning and timing, the Seals move in for what should be a simple, but covert, extraction. Their mission: to rescue Morales who is being held and brutally tortured somewhere deep in the jungles of South America.

Not sitting idly by, the Navy Seals are called into action. With specifics not yet known, her own CIA contact meets up with her, only to be blown away while Morales is kidnaped and taken hostage. Thousands of miles away, CIA operative Lisa Morales is working deep undercover under guise of Doctors Without Borders, when she uncovers a plot that appears to involve one of the worldfs most known terrorists. Who and what are behind it remain to be seen. The terrorist executing the attack walks away from the scene. An American politician is assassinated via an ice cream truck explosion that not only kills him, but a hundred innocent school children. And the impact of this film was only intensified for me as while I was sitting in the theater screening ACT OF VALOR, Seal Team 6 was in Somalia performing their latest much publicized rescue mission of a young American woman.ĪCT OF VALOR is truly global in scale.

As for filmmaking, the technical precision, creativity and originality is unparalleled thanks in large part to Cinematographer Shane Hurlbut. In short, ACT OF VALOR is Wow, Wow, Wow, Wow, Wow!!!! Creating a fictionalized story thread based on actual mission experiences and operations of the Navy Seals we see in the film, the result is an edge of your seat, heart-pounding thrill ride that will have you walking in the shoes of real life American heroes. The most authentic action move ever made, Waugh and McCoy showcase “the best of the best”, not only technically and emotionally, but with the casting of “the best of the best” – active duty Navy Seals – not to mention pilots, aviators, nuclear submarine operators and other real military members. Directors Scott Waugh and Mike “Mouse” McCoy have set the highest possible bar for excellence and authenticity with ACT OF VALOR. This is the movie that action fans the world over have been craving.

Is act of valor based on true story
