A well-made and meaningful war film, but "Lone Survivor" is little more than average.

Harsh and exemplary depiction of both the brotherhood and danger it means to be a SEAL team member. Not since Black Hawk Down has there been a better film about being trapped behind enemy lines and facing seemingly insurmountable odds. All the characters are given just enough glimpse of their humanity and real lives to feel the emotion when things go bad. The action scenes (from small gun fire to tumbling down rocky slopes) are amazing - it hurt me just to watch, let alone imagine what it must have been like to go through. Hoo-rah.

ONLY ONE OF THE BEST WAR MOVIES OF THE YEAR! Mark Wahlberg was outstanding in this movie. It seemed to be very Realistic. It was based on a true story and Peter Berg made the story very easy to follow and in the time allotted giving you a chance to really identify with the characters. This movie had moments that was violent and harsh but it will definitely keep your attention.

Intense, brutal and realistic, this is easily one of the greatest combat war movies of all time and the best movie yet about the recent wars in the Middle East. Mark Wahlberg gives the best performance of his career and he is backed by a fine supporting cast. An engrossing true story.

'Lone Survivor' is the latest true war story to arrive in the theater. It is, in equal measure, a harrowing crowd pleaser and an emotional struggle. The four main actors convey believable soldiers. The battling feels like a real un-strategized mess of gunfire. Thankfully, the director doesn't get all 'shaky-cam' on us in these intense moments. This could've easily been a piece of propaganda, or persuasion of war ideals, but the film's only intent is to showcase a gruesome truth. Hopefully that fact will help 'Lone Survivor' reach a wide audience, because I believe it deserves the attention.

This movie is based on real life events which to me makes it more shocking for the people that has to hear the news that day and to the family to reaction to the story, this movie has great acting and the action is not in your face just like other Bad action movies it is still and that's how I like it.
