Based on the title
alone, any viewer will already know how this will end; but I'll bet you'll be surprised by the beginning.
Based on the true story and The New York Times bestseller, Lone Survivor tells the heroic tale of Navy SEALs on a covert mission to neutralize a high-level al-Qaeda operative in Afghanistan. Faced with an impossible moral decision, the SEALs are ambushed in the mountains of Afghanistan.

Based on the title
alone, any viewer will already know how this will end. But getting there is
hell. The fun, rollercoaster kind. Beginning with an opening real-life montage
of the SEAL’s training process and continuing with relentless intensity to tell
the story, you won’t be bored with this nail-biter. Peter Berg is not sparing
with the intensely realistic violence — nor is he subtle with the heavy-handed
message about men going to war.
Award potential: Shut out of nominations for Oscar Best Picture, Best Screenplay and most of
thetechnical awards except for Best Sound. If anything upsets Gravity for Best Sound, it will be this film.
The ten buck review: Worth ten bucks.
