I’m checking it out tonight...looks great from the trailer.
The only reason they made this movie is because it’s an election year and Obama is on the ticket.
Consider: this movie was made in Hollywood - a place that hates the military. JarHead, Redacted, etc, etc, etc.
I’m not going to go along with the blatant politicization of US fighting personnel in such a fashion - especially when Obama wants to slash the military budget!
I’m not going to be sucked in. I find this offensive.
Dan Patrick praised it at length this morning.
I'm disgusted with Mr. Moviefone - he's sold out to the Hollywood liberals, I thought he was above that.
My husband and I will go out of our way to see "Act of Valor" ASAP.
On the one hand, I am very interested in seeing this film when released in the UK, probably a DVD release as opposed to cinema. And its great to see the SEALS get a film.
On the other, it does look like a ‘straight to dvd’ film thats getting a lot of hype. I hope no one is expecting to see a film of the timeless quality of a Sgt York or a Pork Chop Hill.
Listened to Michael Savage a few nights ago - he went into the “conspiracy” theory on the deaths of the 22 SEALs in Afghanistan. An Army copter pilot called in and said he and his fellow pilots are convinced it was a set-up, done deliberately and as compensation for offing Osama...
just throwing this out for discussion...
My husband and I are fighting over who gets to go with my son to see it.
I am gonna win that one.
:)
Will they making a movie about truck drivers, cooks, chopper mechanics, etc. You know the support people that make the jobs of the special forces possible. Can’t wait for the Obama administration-sanctioned movie about
the death of Bin laden to come out right before the election. You know the know one directed by the same gal who directed “The Hurt Locker”. The same gal that got sued for basing the story on real characters from an EOD team without getting permission. This time the Obama people gave her classified information to make this movie about Bin laden and his “death” at the hands of Obama the Destroyer. Hollywood trying to get their favorite liberal reelected president by compromising future missions of the US special forces. The Seals or any other element of the US military does not this type cheerleading BS. Their jobs are no more important than the man who serves them breakfast and that is exactly what they will tell you. Obama is an idiot.
Rush is talking it up near the end of the first half hour...
I didn’t know Montel Williams was a Marine and Annapolis graduate. His list of accomplishments are many but his military plans were thwarted due to being given the wrong dose of immunization medication during pre-commissioning (along with 99 others).
I will probably see and enjoy this film. That said, what happened to “Silent Professionals” ?? The SEALs have been in the news more than the Kardashians.
I guarantee hollywood will diss this film. There are no hollywood actors and who the hell needs the fakes when you got real Seals.
Not Breaking News.
I’m going to see it tomorrow, and can’t wait.
Thank you all, I will see it. I wonder if it will do well in New York??? Especially Manhattan???
What says the great Debs? Will you see this film? Based on the previews that I’ve seen - I’m there.
I saw the movie and loved it.
I did prefer, “Blackhawk Down”, however.
I would recommend that all freeps go see, “Act of Valor”.
Reports that the SEALs were not identified *appeared* wrong —there were credits at the end. Perhaps those were supporting folks...?
Good movie, yes.
My son and I just returned from seeing Act of Valor. Powerful, powerful, powerful. Toward and at the end, the packed theater was completely and utterly silent. After a respectful time, applause.
It was excellent, intense, and makes me appreciate our warriors even more. Go see it, and bring a young person (who’s old enough, of course).
A thought occurred to me after an hour, while considering the campaign to retake OUR White House and OUR Senate. If these patriots do this on our behalf, the very least we can do it preserve what and who they’re fighting for. We can do this.
Saw the first showing in my small town this afternoon.
6 stars ... cause 5 stars isn’t enough.
