The long history of cooperation by the United States military with Hollywood productions lionizing their professionalism and technological/weaponry superiority reaches new heights in Act of Valor, a movie being marketed chiefly via its hook of using real, active-duty American special forces personnel. The relative strengths and weaknesses one might attach to such a tack are in abundant supply throughout. If the word propaganda strikes some as too punitive or uncomfortable a description, then the dramatically inert but generally well captured film, in its unerring, square-jawed patriotism and tidy action-oriented conflict resolution, is certainly the most expensive and exclusively sourced military recruitment video to date.
