Lone Survivor (2013)
Directed by Peter Berg
this film based on real events stars Mark Wahlberg, Taylor Kitsch,
Emile Hirsch, Ben Foster and Eric Bana. A four man Navy SEALs team
goes on a reconnaissance mission in Afghanistan but are discovered by
the Taliban.
It seems the events of
this film stick fairly closely to real events even if there are a few
changes here and there. What disappoints me about the script is that
it focuses on the brotherhood of being a SEAL rather than the more
interesting relationship between the survivor and the locals that aid
him. There is plenty of realism in the execution of the film and it
is really well made but I am not sure it does a lot to stand out
against many similar films out there.
3/5
