Rowan C @RowanC3 Aug 29, 2026 Lone Survivor is a phenomenal movie, and it is based on a true story that is just shocking. Operation Red Wings took 4 men on a mission to take down Ahmad Shah, and things took a turn for the worse. Lieutenant Michael P. Murphy (Taylor Kitsch), Gunner's Mate 2nd Class Danny Dietz (Emile Hirsch), Sonar Technician 2nd Class Matthew Axelson (Ben Foster), and Hospital Corpsman 2nd Class Marcus Luttrell (Mark Wahlberg) went on this mission, but only one man came out. Marcus Luttrell was the only survivor of this mission, and it all had to do with them letting those civilians go. All the deaths in this movie were cinematic; the action was intense, and Mark Wahlberg delivered a great performance. The story itself is so beautiful because a man named Taraq (Sammy Sheik) saved Marcus, as that was part of his village's code, Pashtunwali. Mark's narration at the beginning and end of the movie was great, and I am glad this man survived in real life. Overall, this was such an amazing story.

Based on Operation Red Wings and Marcus Luttrell’s memoir, the movie begins as a reconnaissance mission and becomes a desperate fight for survival against overwhelming odds. The combat is incredibly intense, but what stays with me is the loyalty between the team members. Even wounded, exhausted, and facing almost impossible circumstances, their concern for one another never disappears. Knowing that the story represents real men and real loss gives every sacrifice considerably more weight. It’s painful to watch at times, but that’s part of what makes it effective. A powerful tribute to friendship, courage, and men refusing to abandon one another. See more Todor Y @Phantom961 Jul 25, 2026 Nice movie, too bad it was based on a real case and only 1 seal survived. The battle is done quite realistically. See more Ian R @RT23899272 Jun 3, 2026 One of the better war movies made in recent decades. I don't agree that it is better than Black Hawk Down, but it is realistic. Perhaps that's what upset some people who watched this and thought that it portrayed the US soldiers as being incompetent. But they did lose the war in Afghanistan.

Theres is always a narc in a group. Not to be mean but i would of kept them prisoners or definitely left them tied up accordingly. Im sure one of them would of eventually let themselves out.
