Skip it. Act of Valor trades compelling storytelling for military recruitment propaganda—it stars actual active-duty SEALs instead of actors, which sounds gimmicky and plays out that way. You'll get better action thrills and actual character development from literally any other modern war thriller.

Plot

When a covert mission to rescue a kidnapped CIA operative uncovers a chilling plot, an elite, highly trained U.S. SEAL team speeds to hotspots around the globe, racing against the clock to stop a deadly terrorist attack.
