    Act of Valor

    http://www.actofvalor.com

    Navy Seals managed to make a full length Hollywood film without prior approval from the Pentagon (approval given after).

    Looks good. I will be in a theater near the Wife and me next weekend.

    They wrote the screenplay?
    Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

    Wow, they did this without approval? That was ballsy, then again I guess being movie stars pays better.

    It does look good on the commercials.

    Did they write it or actually produce it? That seems like it would be a lot of work.

    No they didn't write it, they just stared in it.

    from the commercials I have seen on it it looks pretty good.. I may go see it also.
    The eastern world, it is exploding, violence flaring bullets loading. you are old enough to kill , but not for voting, this whole crazy world is just to frustrating, and you tell me over and over and over again my friend, you don't believe we are on the EVE of DESTRUCTION.


    Never approach a bull from the front, A horse from behind, or a fool from any direction.

    If they did the movie on the Navy's time they likely couldn't also get paid by Hollywood. Maybe they were able to take leave and do it.
