This is a really great movie. that i think will be hard to beat this year. i just hope it gets the recognition it deserves. Its based on the true story of four naval seals who end up stuck out on their own fighting the taliban.
its brutal honest real and very well made and acted. mark wahlberg puts in his best performance in this movie.
there's no in your face obvious messages it merely shows the face of war and the conflict through all eyes with solid unflinching action. the scenes do the talking here.
The direction is really good. the scenes of falling are best i have seen in cinema . usually when people tumble down hills and cliff edges its all very tame. not in this film its as real as you can get it
I have seen a lot of films and this one surprised me. its class
