Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.
Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.
Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
Bele Torso This movie was done on a 12 million budget! Are you kidding me??? The best 12 million ever spent on an action thriller movie. It is perfection. B-actors that give A+ performances. The acting is never over done, making the story very believable. There is a humility and sincerity to this movie. Dignity also comes to mind. Nothing is done over-the-top with lame CGI nonsense. The action is male perfection. Excellent pacing with no extended spoon feeding. I could watch this 2-3 x a year. Love it. HIGHLY RECOMMEDNED
The Couchpotatoes I guess for people who like that kind of movies Act Of Valor is a good one. At least for the action scenes. Those were good but the acting wasn't great at all. About the story it's a typical American propaganda movie. "We're Navy Seals and we're going to clear this mess up". I can see republican patriotic rednecks loving this movie. But for an outsider like me, that is already not very fond on wars and propaganda it's a bit dull for a movie. You perfectly know what will happen in this movie from the second it started. It's not even a spoiler if I tell you America will win. I don't think I ever saw a movie in this genre where America didn't win. But okay the action scenes were good, I'll give you that. Except from a navy seal hit at close range by a rocket that has no injuries at all, the rest was okay. A movie to watch once and then forget about it. But only if you like this kind of movies otherwise just pass on it.
jarrett-ridlinghafer Of course the official Industry Critics hated this movie! They are all socialist and hate America...they would rather, as this current President has stated, see us be "More like China" What is very heartening is the Public reception with this movie beating all others out at the box office the first weekend it showed....the American People know a good American Story when they see it and this was one of the most Encouraging American Movies of all-time along with "American Sniper" and "Lone Survivor" our War movies of this decade have finally hit the same quality of patriotism as those from the 50's and 60's such as "A Bridge too Far", "The Great Escape", "The Longest Day" and "Patton" just to name a few.I believe the current and ONGOING WAR ON TERROR which is NOT OVER and has never stopped folks....will be more defining to our way of life and freedom than either of the so-called BIG WARS we're ever in danger of becoming.The movie is based on true events and uses real, active navy seals and their families to depict the actual capabilities of today's 21st century special operations warriors....completely blew me away and left a lump in my throat and great food for thought with the ending monologue and Tecumseh poem....it truly made me re-evaluate my life. Not many movies can do that these days.I think this movie should be mandatory viewing for every high-school student in America today. The children today no longer perform or recite the pledge of allegiance, they are not even allowed to pray and the history books have all been rewritten with no mention of all the lives lost and blood spilled over the last 200+ years to provide the freedom they have today...FREEDOM DOES NOT COME FREE!I give this my "10 Tons of Freedom" RatingJarrett Neil Ridlinghaferlinkedin.com/in/jnridlinghafer
Eric M Hoernke While this movie struggles with acting and script that's not primarily what we are here to experience. It excels in the action sequences in which real life Special Warfare operatives display the skills they've acquired during a career of combat. Even when the action heats up the stilted acting jobs flow much easier and become extremely believable. Despite the simple plot and the sacrifice you see coming from scene one it's hard not to just sit back and appreciate, as you watch this, that real men are out there attempting similar missions this very day to keep us all safe. It's impossible not to feel the emotion in the funeral scene at the end when the living take a moment to honor the brothers that did not survive. Even if this happens to be staged for the screen you can just feel that these men have had to perform this ritual before. So overall not a great movie but for what it encompasses in the grand scheme and due to some highly engaging tactical scenes this film gets good marks
