ACT OF VALOR - Meet the Silent Warriors

I have massive respect for the military and what they do. At one point in my life I even almost joined--I wanted to try and get into the Navy SEALs. It's weird to think that I actually ended up writing about movies, my life could have been so much more exciting. I have no regrets. I love what I do, but I would still love to train with these guys! 

Relativity Media has released this great new behind the scenes featurette for their upcoming Navy SEAL movie Act of Valor. The video is called Silent Warriors and it gives us a behind the scenes look at the film including interviews with the active Navy SEAL's who star in the film. I love how they say that Hollywood has never gotten the SEAL persona right, and that this movie is going to give audiences something they've never seen before... real SEALs in action! After they all initially said no to doing the movie, they decided to do it because it was their one opportunity to get their story right. 

The film hits theaters on February 24th, 2012. Watch the behind the scenes video below, and let me know if you are part of the military or if you've ever thought about joining the military. If so what do you or did you want to do?

Here's the Synopsis:

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 plot against 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 could kill 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 Philippinesand 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.
