Act of Valor
Not sure if this is just gonna be a US movie or not, but I was able to see an advanced screening of it last night and all I can say is wow. Quick premise is they followed 8 Navy SEALs around for more than a year, studying them, and then decided to make a movie with them instead of some overpaid **** actors because they wanted the realism of them saying bye to their families before a mission and all that jazz. Going into to it, I thought it was going to be good, but not this good.
For guys who have never acted (I'm assuming) before, they did a damn good job. Granted, you could tell the acting wasn't A level, but they did better than Keeanu and Nic Cage ever have. Getting past that point, the only other complaint that could be made, is the way they filmed it. I heard one guy say the filming method was the only retracting point, but it made it feel so much more...real. If anyone complains about more than that, or even that, I'm sorry but there is no hope.
This is quite possibly the best movie I have ever seen. I'm still trying to digest it, but I think it is definitely top 5 at the worst. There are no previews before but the directors do give you a little info about what they did to film it. This may differ since it was an advanced screening but, it made it feel that much more real. 5 minutes into the movie you are already connected to the 8 SEALs more than I thought you would the entire movie. From there, it just doesn't stop. For two hours, the theater laughed maybe one time, I didn't see one cell phone light up, no side conversations, just silence. By the end of the movie I looked around, and every person in there had tears. The credits began to roll, nobody moved. 2 minutes or so into the credits, everyone just started clapping, and I hate when people clap in movies but this was so necessary.
10/10 go see it now.
