A lot of emphasis has been made about the use of real Navy Seals as the stars of Act of Valor along with the authentic weapons and tactics featured in the film. When I hear keywords like "authentic" my mind automatically starts to think of uncomplimentary words like "stale" and "dry" and when you have real Navy Seals as the stars I start to think of military propaganda. So is Act of Valor an entertaining film based in reality or large budgeted recruitment film?
