There's a reason why Hollywood doesn't use real people in their movies and actors make the millions they do to play "roles". This movie looks cool in the previews but otherwise will be a total flop. What is the plot? I mean the typical "SOF" plot has been rehashedand rehashed. Tears of the Sun however unrealistic someone wants to argue it is/was is one of the best Spec Ops movies to come out of Hollywood in the last 10 years. That's how a Hollywood movie is done. If you want a B movie pretending to be an A list Hollywood movie go see this movie. It's probably as boring as the Unit on T.V. Just more explosions and bombs going off.

Blockbuster “Act Of Valor” Set For Release Feb 17, 2012
The Hurt Locker Director Kathryn Bigelow is set to release a movie portraying the recent Navy SEAL elimination of Osama Bin Laden starring actual Navy SEALS.
The Navy retained the right to review footage for security reasons because SEALs are highly cautious about revealing their tactics, and the names of SEALs appearing in the movie are omitted in the credits. But the filmmakers put cameras on anything and everything — guns, helmets, vehicles — to get unusual action shots.
As with every indie film, scoring distribution for Valor was a long shot. The filmmakers met with Imax in 2010, but no deal materialized. Then bin Laden was killed, and Hollywood came calling.
“Rarely do you find a movie that’s different from every other movie out there,” says Relativity president of production Tucker Tooley. “It’s very much a military story and a patriotic story, but it isn’t a one-quadrant movie.”
A veteran distributor who has seen Valor says the action in the movie is “incredible and authentic” but that it feels like a government pic. He believes the film could play well in conservative-leaning states.
But Tooley and McCoy say it has broader appeal. ”We believe the authenticity of Act of Valor will transcend demographic, race and political lines,” McCoy tells THR. “We hope viewers will get a rare glimpse into the SEAL community and that their lives will be as enriched by the experience as ours have been.”

The Hurt Locker was a kick ass movie. But it was hardly based on Spec Ops. lol..............
Peter Berg is supposed to be making that whole Marcus Luttrell story of the 4 Navy Seals in Operation Red Wing into a movie. I forgot the name of the book. Berg did Kingdom which was another great flick but hardly Spec Ops related.

yeah, definitely will help stir up patriotism 5 minutes before the election.
