Fighting is a learned skill; so is acting. And the SEAL stars are plausible only when on maneuvers - performing as their own stunt doubles.

When the bullets are flying, Act of Valor is undeniably tense and thrilling.

Peter Travers / Rolling Stone

I don't know what to make of Act of Valor. It's like reviewing a recruiting poster.

The special ops missions are pretty amazing, but the SEALS as dramatic characters are under-developed.

Peter Rainer / Christian Science Monitor
Feb 24, 2012
The bad guys, who specialize in funny beards, funny accents, and shaved heads, would feel right at home in an Austin Powers movie.

Rafer Guzman / Newsday

As a piece of filmed entertainment, "Act of Valor" will never be mistaken for "Top Gun," but it's a heck of a recruitment video.

Stephen Whitty / Newark Star-Ledger
Feb 24, 2012
These guys ... are the real deal. And any hero worship given them - badly done or not - is still deserved.

Robert Koehler / Variety
Feb 24, 2012
A mechanically efficient yet soulless dramatization of the U.S. Navy SEALs in action.

Rick Groen / Globe and Mail
Feb 24, 2012
Although the Seals continue in fine form, the co-directors seem fatigued from the journey, allowing their once-clean style to degenerate into a typical mishmash of clutter and bombast.

Linda Barnard / Toronto Star
Feb 24, 2012
While subtleties and pacing are MIA, the filmmakers know how to shoot action and they make the most of it in Act of Valor.

Chris Vognar / Dallas Morning News
Feb 24, 2012
The movie doesn't pretend to be anything but propaganda, a modern-day cousin to the morale-boosting documentaries made by John Huston and Frank Capra during World War II.

Kyle Smith / New York Post
Feb 24, 2012
Refreshing as it is to see the military portrayed as something other than a band of neurotics and creeps, there's a reason this brand of rah-rah and bang-bang didn't outlast the age of Whitesnake and Marty McFly.

Mark Jenkins / Washington Post
Feb 23, 2012
The exercises are genuine, and so is the hardware. But the script undermines the sense of authenticity at every turn.

Jake Coyle / Associated Press
Feb 23, 2012
Just barely a movie, "Act of Valor" is more like a high-quality recruitment video with interstitial acting.

Claudia Puig / USA Today
Feb 23, 2012
Employing Navy troops as stars is a clever idea for an action thriller. But the soldiers' awkward line readings are glaring enough to distract from the potency of the story.

Amy Biancolli / San Francisco Chronicle
Feb 23, 2012
The filmmakers are so intent on shooting the real SEAL deal that they forget this is supposed to be a movie: We need a story.

Jeannette Catsoulis / New York Times
Feb 23, 2012
Unsurprisingly, the finished product plays like a pumped-up recruitment commercial deemed fit for feature length and multiplex viewing.

Michael Rechtshaffen / Hollywood Reporter
Feb 23, 2012
The merging of dramatic re-creations and on-camera "performances" proves less seamlessly executed than those masterfully coordinated land, sea and air missions.

Colin Covert / Minneapolis Star Tribune
Feb 23, 2012
I think these real-life action heroes deserve a better movie. So does the audience.

Kenneth Turan / Los Angeles Times
Feb 23, 2012
While the action is always crisp and to the point, the rest of the storytelling and the acting that goes along with it are pro forma at best.
