Lone Survivor's pulse-pounding combat and emotional grips make for a dramatic portrayal of brothers in arms. Mark Wahlberg and the rest of his comrades, along with a striking direction from Peter Berg, do a just treatment that compliment the courageous individuals in uniform and those who contributed in their fight for survival. 4.5/5

What's starting out like a Special Forced recruitment video soon follows the well known paths of war survival films. That's decently acted and filmed, especially during the action scenes, but remains thematically undecided between hurray-patriotism and portraying the ugliness of violence. The film ends up being fair towards Muslims and pays tribute to the souls lost in the actual case, you gotta appreciate that. But the result remains overall unsatisfying on all accounts.

It's not just a terrible film, it's an insult to the men who died on this mission.

I didn't find this film particularly moving or powerful, other than in knowing from the title credits that it's based on actual events. Undoubtedly the soldiers on which the film was based were true heroes, but there was not much humanity or likability portrayed by the actors in this film. (This is surprising for me given that Emile Hirsch and Ben Foster star in the film!) The film was technically strong, but I didn't come away with the Jingoistic enthusiasm I would have expected from a film like this.
