I don't know what to make of Act of Valor. It's like reviewing a recruiting poster.
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone, 02.26.2012 -
Fighting is a learned skill; so is acting. And the SEAL stars are plausible only when on maneuvers - performing as their own stunt doubles.
Richard Corliss, TIME Magazine, 02.26.2012 -
A mechanically efficient yet soulless dramatization of the U.S. Navy SEALs in action.
Robert Koehler, Variety, 02.24.2012 -
As a piece of filmed entertainment, "Act of Valor" will never be mistaken for "Top Gun," but it's a heck of a recruitment video.
