Rating: 3/5 -- Berg has taken pains to create a brutal, distressing, and unashamedly in-your-face depiction of the atrocities of war... The result is, for Berg and star Mark Wahlberg, a career best endeavor. Full Review

Rating: 2/5 -- Lone Survivor resembles an extended recruitment advert for the first half and a snoozily detached war movie for the second - which is fitting because that's what it is. Full Review

Rating: 7/10 -- Surprisingly, what makes this story hit home is the acting. All four men bring a quiet realism to their roles-the less they think of themselves as heroes, the more we do. Full Review

Rating: B -- This appears to be the movie that its makers intended, but it still feels like a little more depth could have provided much more impact. Full Review

Captured in uncompromising detail by director of photography Tobias Schliessler, this movie is not for the faint of heart.

Like the best war films, LONE SURVIVOR laces action with moral questions that haunt and provoke.
Rolling Stone

Berg has a knack for capturing men at work; his depiction of special-ops maneuvering -- of silently casing the enemy base, of planning the attack -- is as compelling as the chaotic violence he orchestrates later. -- Grade: B-

Product Description:

Based on a true story, director Peter Berg's LONE SURVIVOR stars Mark Wahlberg, Taylor Kitsch, Ben Foster, and Emile Hirsch as four Navy SEALs whose sensitive mission into the Afghan mountains is unexpectedly compromised, leading to a fierce skirmish with a small army of Taliban soldiers. The year is 2005. In the wake of the 9/11 terror attacks, the War in Afghanistan is well under way when military intelligence learns that a senior Taliban member is hiding out in a remote village deep in the Hindu Kush mountains of the Kunar Province. Convinced that his capture or killing could turn the tide of the difficult war in favor of the United States, the Navy SEALs hatch Operation Red Wings. The goal is simple -- send a select team of soldiers to stake out the village from the surrounding mountains, and move on their target when the time is right. Under the leadership of Lieutenant Michael Murphy (Kitsch), Marcus Luttrell (Wahlberg), Matt Axelson (Foster), and Danny Dietz (Hirsch) reach their checkpoint, and quickly realize that another nearby hill will provide a better vantage spot. Shortly after arriving at that new location and getting a positive ID on their target, however, the soldiers are caught off guard by three wandering shepherds, including a young boy. Ultimately, a heated vote over what to do with the captured shepherds leads Lt. Murphy to decide that the best course of action is to abide by the rules of engagement, meaning that the soldiers will abort the mission, release the captives, and retreat to their extraction point. Shortly after the shepherds are set free, however, the four SEALs find themselves surrounded by dozens of Taliban soldiers, and engaged in a fierce gunfight that -- with the aid of some truly brave villagers -- only one of them will make it out of.
