Act of Valor Movie Review

I saw Act of Valor last night.  It was to say the least, eye-popping.  When I first heard that active duty Navy Seals were going to be portraying the soldiers in the film I was immediately excited for the realistic aspect of the combat scenes.  However, I was skeptical about their acting ability.  Needless to say they proved me wrong and did a pretty decent job.  The film chronicles the adventures of a tight nit Navy Seal team profiled as "Seal Team 7", Numerically close to Seal Team 6 who neutralized Osama Bin Laden.  The film is action packed, gripping, and compelling. Go see it.  The movie hit close to home and reminded me of the risks friends of mine are facing everyday overseas. The narrator of the film nicknamed "Chief" recites a quote from the Shawnee chief Tecumseh at the films conclusion that gives the viewer goosebumps.


"When your time comes to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song, and die like a hero going home."
