This film takes the generally gruesome and at times utterly horrific slaughter of a small group of US soliders and civilians and uses it as a platform to promote that US military. Jingoistic overtones of patroitism, home and country tryThis film takes the generally gruesome and at times utterly horrific slaughter of a small group of US soliders and civilians and uses it as a platform to promote that US military. Jingoistic overtones of patroitism, home and country try unsuccessfully to pave over the blood, gore and misery of young men with wives, babies and small children killed in Afganistan to support the imperialist asperations of corrupt US elites.

I was left feeling saddened and in no small way nausiated. To make matters worse at the end we get to see these people in happier times with wives and the part that really upset me small babies and children.

Just as bad in one sense too was the films compulsion to exaggerate the specifics surrounding the actual death of these men as if the truth somehow detracted from their bravery. The enemy multiplied from the true number of 10 combatants to over 200 or more. To make these people seem more less worthy and more villianous they were presented as Taliban which was strictly not the case. They were aligned with the Taliban but then show me a Afgan combatant who does not at least have a passing relationship with them.

If this films sends a message to US voters as it did to me it would be get rid of your two main parties and find some decent ethical people to vote for. The current mob are an elitist immoral disgrace who worship death and conquest at any cost over simple human decency and respect for life.… Expand

The warfare and battle genre is depicted quite flashy and irrelevant these days, be it as it may in Lone Survivor, there is actual emotion in there.

Within the realms of hollow characters and dull editing, Mark Wahlberg's big movie to kick off a year where is in something bigger in the oncoming train wreck of Transformers, he has just set the bar. Clearly trying to emote something heartfelt and crushing here, it falls to the depths of boredom without a doubt. Sometimes these movies fly high, but most crash the surface of dry sand with no penetration, I couldn't care less about this dribble.… Expand

Oh look everyone: some mindless US war propaganda! I'm so surprised. So if you like US war propaganda you might like Lone Survivor. if you don't, and perhaps even understand that it is logically impossible to fight a defensive war of any kindOh look everyone: some mindless US war propaganda! I'm so surprised. So if you like US war propaganda you might like Lone Survivor. if you don't, and perhaps even understand that it is logically impossible to fight a defensive war of any kind on the opposite side of the globe, and that this is therefore an illegal war of aggression being glorified, you will either laugh at how ridiculous the movie is or turn it off after 15 minutes out of disgust that this worthless stuff is being marketed at stupid young Americans males.

There is absolutely nothing worthwhile being pushed by this movie. It is almost a war crime in its own right, to go with the thousands of war crimes committed by the US government against the people of Afghanistan already. I usually don't advocate censorship of anything, but Lone Survivor is unworthy of being watched by anybody. I'll make an exception, and just this one movie should be banned. What an insult to humanity it is.… Expand

This movie was based on a true story, and it is extremely sad what happened to the SEAL team. But sadly, the movie was a complete snooze. It is two hours long and an hour and a half of it is pretty dull dialogue. The movie is action-packedThis movie was based on a true story, and it is extremely sad what happened to the SEAL team. But sadly, the movie was a complete snooze. It is two hours long and an hour and a half of it is pretty dull dialogue. The movie is action-packed for the last 30 or so minutes, but even that wasn't all that good. It was not shot well, and Mark Whalberg's cheesy southwestern accent was comical. Not worth seeing.… Expand
