This film started as a recruiting advertisment for the US Navy, filming the SEALs in action, even using live fire. It soon morphed into a feature film, eventually with DoD blessing.

So they got sick of Tom Cruise too. (see Top Gun)

2. During the entire Costa Rica op, I honestly felt I was playing MW3 or Call of Duty. The pace, the terminology, the tactics and especially the cinematography are so similar it had to be intentional. An homage if you will.
So do the bad guys bunny hop then?

I thought Act of Valor looked like an interesting movie. I mean, how often do you get to watch a movie starring actual Navy SEALs? Will definitely give it a watch when I have the opportunity.
