Lone Survivor
If you love the men and women who defend your country every day and want to support them as much as possible you owe it to them and yourself to see this movie. It's the story about Operation Red Wings and the spirit of 4 Navy Seals (one of which won the Medal Of Honor posthumously) and the spirit of the men who attempted to save their brothers. The title says it all. This is not a happy story but it is an inspiring film about the courage of those who fight for each other and fight for us every single day. Much of which we never hear about so when something like this comes out I think it's important for those of us NOT in harms way to see what these men (and women) go through on a daily basis. You never hear this stuff unless 1. something amazing happens (like Bin Ladens death) or 2. Something horrible happens. Even when something terrible happens there are amazing stories of courage, brotherhood, and heroics and those stories must be told too. This is a mixed bag because something amazing does happen but horrible things had to happen for this amazing thing to occur. Please see it. The acting is very good. The action is filmed close so you feel like you're in it with them and they went through painstaking details to make this story as accurate as hollywood can make it. Even is you're not an American it still should be seen because because your own countrymen and women go through this as well and sacrifice just as much for you. It's a story for all fighting men and women no matter what country you come from.
