I really wanted to see this film...so I actually splashed out and went to see it on the big screen...instead of my usual dodgy dvds/downloads and it was well worth every penny!!! The film was just incredible!!
It's based on a true story of heroism, courage and survival, Lone Survivor tells the incredible tale of four Navy Seals on a covert mission to neutralize a high-level al-Qaeda operative who are ambushed by the enemy in the mountains of Afghanistan. Faced with an impossible moral decision, the small band is isolated from help and surrounded by a much larger force of Taliban ready for war. As they confront unthinkable odds together, the four men find reserves of strength and resilience as they stay in the fight to the finish.
The four main character's are Marcus Luttrell(Mark Wahlberg..his best performance by far!) Michael Murphy(Taylor Kitsch..who I don't know) Danny Dietz(Emile Hirsch..again I don't know him & Matt 'axe' Axelson(Ben Forster who I've always been a massive fan of!!) They all play amazing parts and I was sitting there with my heart in my mouth through most of the film...so much so that I didn't even manage to flick one piece of my popcorn at any unsuspecting cinema goers :-(
You cannot miss this film!!! It's action from start to finish, the performances from all the actors is second to none and even after the credits had started to go up...no one left the cinema, everyone was just sat, quiet and deep in thought. To think that this film is based on true events, you can watch a film and know when it ends that its just a story...but when you watch a film that tells the true story of actual people & events...it really brings it home to you...it makes it real.
I've enclosed the link for the trailer.
