Review: "Lone Survivor" is a construct porn "bloody
war" instead of camouflaging an
error of judgment on moral grounds and American patriotism glorified.
Based on a true story of Marcus Luttrell and Patrick Robinson, was an eyewitness of Operation Red Wings to reveal the history of the US Navy Seals and Army Special Operations soldiers who lost their lives in 2005 in the mountainous terrain of Afghanistan.
The story begins nonlinearly with the medical team attending the only survivor rescued.
What follows is the chronicle of the events that took place three days before the Bagram air base and Jbad forward operating base in Afghanistan.
The mission of Operation Redwing was to observe a village and neutralize a high operational level al Qaeda, Ahmed Shah who was thought to be an ally of Osama bin Laden.
While hiding in the bushes in the mountains, the team; Ben (Taylor Kitsch), Marcus Luttrell (Mark Wahlberg), Danny Dietz (Emile Hirsch) and Matt Axelson (Ben Foster), his three predecessors, soon to dominate.
Then, with a difficult ethical issue of killing innocent shepherds, land with three options: One, to keep these two young people and the elderly to be bound killed by frost, two, CART their long and unfavorably even with the hostages and finally released and retained risk by Shah and his forces.
When the burden of decision belongs to the team leader Murphy, opt for the latter, hoping for the best.
Soon they are surrounded by a much larger force of Taliban militants ready for war. And the result is clear.
On the front of the action, actors are used as feed for livestock and rag dolls. Deliver breathtaking performances and heartbreaking action game; painful and chance to fall into the rocky hillside, desperately clinging to life and injuries humiliating deterioration for the moment, is not seen in the war movies a long time.
Director Peter Berg has been faithful to its source. Although chronic lush courage and sacrifice of American soldiers ephemeral culture "Pashtunwali" Pashtuns honors and openly rejects Taliban soldiers dead.
Technically the film is intense and persistent. Bullets with blood, gore and pain in the faces of the players are correctly recorded in minute detail by the cinematographer Tobias A. Schliessler. Change the sharpness by Colby Parker, the film offers a mild concentrated stream. And background score by composer Steve Jablonsky certainly improves the viewing experience.
Overall, it was painful, brutal and life-affirming, the film due to the glamorization conflict has a "sense of Hollywood" for a realistic story.
