Act of Valor

“The only easy day was yesterday.”

The film opens with a CIA operative kidnapped and a SEAL team sent to bring her out, a rescue that uncovers a plot reaching across several countries. Mike McCoy and Scott Waugh cast active duty Navy SEALs as the team, alongside Roselyn Sánchez (Lisa Morales) and Alex Veadov (Christo). The film keeps its attention on the job and the men who share it, and it treats duty as a burden they carry out together.
