What started out as a training video for incoming Navy SEALs has now been turned into a feature film signed off by the Navy and Relativity Media. Directed by Mike "Mouse" McCoy and Scott Waugh, Act Of Valor trailer shows a dramatic story about a squad that goes on a covert mission to recover a kidnapped CIA agent.
There are plenty of guns, explosions, underwater missions, and enough action movie cliches to last a lifetime. But it is all visually appealing and the tale, written by 300's Kurt Johnstad, is apparently based on a true story. The SEALs are played by actual members, however, the bad guys are played by actors. Emilio Rivera (Traffic) and the smoking hot Roselyn Sanchez (Without A Trace) will be trying to force America's secrets from the as-yet-to-be cast captured CIA agent.
The Navy, who retained the right to review footage for security reasons, has signed off on the film, which will land in theaters on February 17, 2012.
