Review of Lone Survivor (2013) by Redfordsto — 01 Feb 2014
This is one of the rare times the movie is better than the book. The problem with the book is that it was ghost written and flooded with far too much political commentary. Further, the book attempts to draw conclusions on powerful events that happened far too recently.
What the movie does is take those events and portray them without commentary or rhetoric. The audience is left to draw it own conclusions. Further, the movie does an excellent job of staying close to the original events.
My only qualms are with the number of goat herders and the final battle which never took place. However, it's still and entertaining an compelling movie.
