Review of Lone Survivor (2013) by Netflic — 13 Jan 2014
This movie is based on real events in 2005 in Afghanistan and on a book with the same name written by a Navy SEAL Marcus Luttrell who was the only survivor in a battle with Taliban.
Combat scenes are done exceptionally well. There is real footage in the beginning of the movie of some training that SEALs have to go through. And pictures of fallen soldiers and officers who lost their lives in that fight were shown at the end of the movie. All that adds to the authenticity of it. In those pictures soldiers were surrounded with their families. That makes you think of the utmost sacrifice of those men and the horrible loss their families endured.
As a piece of art this movie did not engage me with exception of the very last part.
But as a tribute to soldiers who risk their lives to protect our freedom this movie is great.
