The ‘Act of Valor’ soundtrack is a collection of 10 moody songs that ultimately get one excited about the movie, which opens up nationwide on Friday (Feb. 24). Although one can only assume it’s going to be the saddest movie ever.
Tuesday night (Feb. 7), Jake Owen was among the lucky few Nashville residents who were able to see an early screening of the highly anticipated new movie ‘Act of Valor.’ But seeing the movie prior to it hitting theaters was not the only honor and perk Owen experienced that night. The singer was also able to rub elbows with some active duty Navy SEALS and express his gratitude for what they do day after day for our country.
Keith Urban is one of 10 country stars on the ‘Act of Valor’ soundtrack, available for purchase on Feb. 21. His song ‘For You’ is the lead track on the album and is available to preview now at iTunes.
‘Act of Valor,’ which began as a Navy recruitment film, eventually grew into a full-length feature in which an elite team of Navy SEALs embark on a covert mission to recover a kidnapped CIA agent. But what’s got everyone talking is that unlike standard war flicks, ‘Act of Valor’ stars real active-duty Navy SEALs.
