An unprecedented blend of real-life heroism and original filmmaking, Act of Valor stars a group of active-duty Navy SEALs in a powerful story of contemporary global anti-terrorism. Inspired by true events, the film combines stunning combat sequences, up-to-the minute battlefield technology and heart-pumping emotion for the ultimate action adventure.

Act of Valor takes audiences deep into the secretive world of the most elite, highly trained group of warriors in the modern world. When the rescue of a kidnapped CIA operative leads to the discovery of a deadly terrorist plotagainst the U.S., a team of SEALs is dispatched on a worldwide manhunt. As the valiant men of Bandito Platoon race to stop a coordinated attack that couldkill and wound thousands of American civilians, they must balance their commitment to country, team and their families back home.

Each time they accomplish their mission, a new piece of intelligence reveals another shocking twist to the deadly terror plot, which stretches from Chechnya to the Philippines and from Ukraine to Somalia. The widening operation sends the SEALs across the globe as they track the terrorist ring to the U.S.-Mexico border, where they engage in an epic firefight with an outcome that has potentially unimaginable consequences for the future of America.

Bandito Platoon sounds camp as hell to English ears.

Top Gun. The reason they had to introduce 'Don't ask, don't tell.'
I'm not really a proper reporter, due to the chronic lack of discipline, negligible attention span, and a certain juvenile difficulty taking serious things seriously.

this looks like hollywood made up bullshit applied to real life characters. kinda like the navy seal equivalent of the Only way is Essex or Desperate Scousewives...

I look forward though to the Lone Survivor film if they're still making it...

Which one is that?

There's lots of ra-ra SEAL movies/tv shows coming out in the next two years.

The book is about Marcus Luttrell and SEAL Team 10 in Operation Red Wing, over in A-stan. Luttrell and three other SEALs were going after some Taliban honcho when they were discovered by some goat herders. The SEALs let them go and the herders promptly told the Taliban, who then surrounded the four SEALs. Luttrell was the only member of his crew to live.

Ah ok, I remember that story now.

A little research says that there are plans to start shooting this January:

Then presumably it became Operation Brown Wings.
