The story of “Act Of Valor” is strictly streamlined b-movie territory. There’s a rogue terrorist, with ties to the Russian mafia, the Taliban and Mexican drug cartels. Somehow, they could not cram the Yakuza into this thing. He’s planning the sort of massive terrorist attack that only a Hollywood screenwriter (like, say, Kurt Johnstad of “300”) could plan, involving suicide bombers escaping over the border with ceramic necklaces undetectable by common metal detectors, but containing enough firepower for one terrorist to favorably compare the plan’s possible impact to that of 9/11. No, he doesn’t say it would be “9/11 times one hundred,” but he comes close.
From my review of the odious “Act Of Valor,” a truly dismal slice of American nihilism. Click to read the whole thing. Unless you’re a terrible human being who fucking sucks. (via klendathudrop)
