Lone Survior


Previous movies involving Navy Seal's, such as Captain Phillips, and Zero Dark Thirty, the Seal's mission is successful, and no one dies. You get the impression that Navy Seals are immune to failure. Lone Survivor is the first to deviate from that. Their mission is to kill a top Al Queda operative who is responsible for the murder of many American troops. However, there's problem when they stumble upon a family of Afghan shepherds, possibly from the Al Queda camp, in the surrounding woods. They are faced with a decision: kill them or let them go? The choice they make soon leads to them being pinned down taking fire, outmanned and outgunned. The brutal reality of war shines through in this film.
