At first I thought it was BS stating that they used active duty Navy SEALS but I found this on IMDB so maybe it's true.

'Act of Valor' is an impressive movie about the cult of professional warriors in the age of global terrorism. Directors Mouse McCoy and Scott Waugh collaborated with the US Navy and actual Navy SEALs to give the film a sense of battle tactics and environment on par with 'Black Hawk Down' and 'Saving Private Ryan'. What little is lost in the SEALs' lack of acting chops is more than made up for by honest performances from the men who actually do this stuff for a living and the film's gripping battle realism. The movie sidesteps an overt political point of view, wisely focusing on the men and their mission rather than commenting on the times in which they serve. Watch for a great scene where Navy swift boats extract the SEALs from a Central American jungle with an astonishing display of live fire. Plenty of battle action to see here that you've never seen before. Highly recommended.

The wife planned to have a girl's night at the house with dinner and a movie (Twilight Breaking Dawn), so the boys and I went to see Act of Valor at the Mansfield Cinemark.

We saw it in the new XD theater, and it was pretty cool. Some of it was obviously Hollywood, but it was still pretty good.

So... are you saying that the SEALs are some sort of prima donnas?

I heard this movie was getting some pretty bad reviews (28% on RottenTomatoes.com), they said the action scenes were decent but the plot and acting was terrible.

We had a chance to go see it Wednesday but the couple reviews I read were not good, so we passed.
