Acte de bravoure

« Docu and drama join forces for an ambitious Navy SEAL mission that falls short of accomplished. »

« Le cinéma n'est pas si inoffensif que ça. Act of Valor a beau être un long métrage techniquement au point, c'est également et surtout un produit dommageable, qui encourage les gens à aller se battre au front. »

« Ce drame de guerre conventionnel glorifie à outrance l'interventionnisme des forces armées à travers le monde à coup d'arguments démagogiques et manichéens. »

« Que ce film puisse connaître une vie sur grand écran plutôt que de passer directement au DVD ne s'explique que par la fascination qu'exercent les forces armées sur certains Américains. »

« Regarder Acte de bravoure, c'est en quelque sorte l'équivalent d'une immersion dans le jeu vidéo Call of Duty. »

« I'll say this much about Act of Valor: It's the closest you can come to experiencing a military mission from the perspective of a Navy SEAL without actually enlisting.I'll say this much about Act of Valor: It's the closest you can come to experiencing a military mission from the perspective of a Navy SEAL without actually enlisting. »

« If you like military-style action films, I'm pretty sure that you'll enjoy Act of Valor, although I'd urge anyone that goes to see this to keep in mind that it's propaganda. »

« These special-ops warriors impressively perform their own stunts. But when the movie attempts to humanize them, the dialogue feels forced. »

« Nothing wrong with a tribute to real-life Navy SEALs, the heroes who took down Osama bin Laden. But Act of Valor is an awkward something else. »

« Act of Valor, unlike the men who populate it, has an identity problem. Part fiction and part documentary, the film grafts real-life members of the Navy SEALs - and real, live ammunition - onto a concocted narrative and hopes for the best. It soon becomes apparent, however, that whatever talents these warriors possess, acting is not among them. »

« Act of Valor thus comes to Canadian cinemas as a real oddity: a good old-fashioned American propaganda film except for, you know, the part where I said “good.” »
