Review of Lone Survivor (2013) by Johan C — 17 Jun 2015

A very accurate portrayal of the events that took place in Operation Red Wing. Mark Wahlberg gave a great performance as Marcus Lutrell, and all the other actors were great. For once Peter berg actually made a great movie instead of an eh one, and I hope that his next is more like this and not like Battleship.

My one problem is the scene where they all jumped off the cliff and rolled down the mountain. In the book, this did happen and they all broke a lot of bones and could barely move. In the movie however they just got up and walked along like nothing happened.

Also the final battle wasn't very involving. But for the most part the portrayal of the events were pretty spot on. Really good war movie.
