Film Review: Lone Survivor

Genre: Action  Biography Drama warning this film is not for the faith heart. 

Cert: 15 cert

Parents advised to read before viewing film as some scene may contain scenes unsuitable for younger viewers.

Sex & Nudity: There is some non-explicit talk about an impending wedding and buying wedding gifts.

Violence & Gore: Realistic bloody violence throughout with the use of various firearms.

Profanity:  143 uses of "fuck" and its derivatives.

Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking: none

Frightening/Intense Scenes:  The film is based on the non-fiction book of the same title, which depicts a failed Navy SEALS mission.

The mission in the film is intense throughout and deaths of the SEALS can be upsetting since they are based on their real-life counterparts.

Story: Based on the failed mission "Operation Red Wings" which tasked four members of SEAL Team 10 on June 28, 2005 to kill Taliban leader Ahmad Shah. They were quickly compromised and under attack.

Likes An undeniable aspect of war, whether or not you make rationalizations on its regrettable purpose or demonize its existence entirely, is that it's an utter hell that tries the mentality and physicality of the courageous men and women who fight in the conflict.
Most war film try to capture what its really like in war but none have never real come close than this one has, one review i saw from a former navy seal said this film is spot on to what it really like, i wouldn't disagree with him on that because to be in that gun fight is pretty intense.
This film serious take you on a roller coaster of emotion through it Astonishing camera work, heart-breaking moments as you see them come under fire & pressure to stay alive, it one of the war film that has a very Powerful and Gripping story knowing that this really happened this way in the film is frightening. My heart go out for the brave men & woman of the army force's for the jobs they do.
Mark Wahlberg play the the soldier to survive that day on 2005 he plays this role perfect, as well has Taylor Kitsch, Emile Hirsch, Ben FosterEric Bana ,Alexander Ludwig play there role with honor with brilliant performance to those who had fallen that day. Ali Suliman played what i call an honorable man  that helped Marcus Luttrell , his name is Mohammad Gulab who is still helping fight today against the Taliban this is what i call a good man i wish him & his family well for this.
One thing i want to do now is honor those brave men that gave their lives by putting there names on this review because what they did made them all heroes Red wings men we honor you.:
