After Mark Wahlberg, ( the star of Lone Survivor), made this rant about some idiotic statements by Tom Cruise-I wanted to see this movie.

I went to see Lone Survivor this past weekend and the movie
will have you proud of these men and their sacrifice.

It is painful to watch for several reasons and one of them
is that they had their hands tied in the decisions they
were forced to make. There was also lack of proper support
available for the responding team due to decisions made to
withdraw resources from the area.

The actors did an excellent job and Ben Foster really stood
out in this film. Watching him in the firefights reminded me of
his role in 3:10 to Yuma. He had the same worn look in both
movies and was a warriors warrior as were the rest of the men.

I debated going to the theater to see this film or waiting for
the DVD to come out but being a fan of the big screen we
went at 23:30 and had a great crowd watching with us.
(nobody got shot.)  The vast mountain scenes were worth
the trip to the theater and it really grabbed you and pulled you
in. 

At the end of the film they show personal photos of the men
who lost their lives in the operation and you could hear a pin drop
as the entire theater was glued to their seats.

You will find yourself holding your breath watching this film and
looking for cover because the film puts you right in it with these
brave men.  It is brutal and up close and personal and I have no
idea how some of these scenes were filmed but you feel the grit
and hard cold stone of the mountains they are operating in.

The time flies by quickly as you are caught up in this story from
start to finish. The actors really did an awesome job portraying the
real men who were there.


This film should be required watching for every American.

Lone Survivor has a great soundtrack.
