Ashley Clark
Lone Survivor isn't always sophisticated ... But there's moral complexity and a climax in an Afghan village which is tense and surprisingly moving.
Richard Roeper
Lone Survivor' hits home and hits hard.
William Goss
The film effectively assaults its audience almost as aggressively as its subjects.
Wesley Morris
The film's director, Peter Berg, wants to immerse you so deeply that you feel as if your bones are breaking, too. There's a price, of course, for that kind of immersion: It becomes tough to see the movie for the drum-beating.
David Edelstein
Lone Survivor is a brutally effective movie, made by people who think that they're serving their country. But they're just making us coarser and more self-centered.
Lisa Kennedy
Berg's fine achievement is in relaying that sense of abject danger even as he and his actors honor the utter connection of the men who lost their lives that day.

Geoff Pevere
The sensation of being pinned down and shot apart is so harrowingly conveyed by Peter Berg's fact-based war movie Lone Survivor that one almost forgives the movie's failure to be quite as persuasive in almost every other respect.
User reviews
Lone Survivor Number one why do they use Marc Walberg for these movies? He is an anti-gun passivist that rallies to limit our freedoms and make us victims. The story was amazing probably just shy of the real one, and Walberg did a good job of playing the part of a freedom fighter. I just wish I didn't know his political views. People give him lots of crap about his movies but I disagree with the common consensus that nobody cares about any thing good old Marky Mark does......

Captivating Having read the book, I was interested in how they would translate the story to the big screen. They did a wonderful job. Although I do wish they would have focused more on his rescue. That being said, I wholly recommended the film, it is tense, heart wrenching, and hopeful all at the same time. Even if you know the outcome.
AMAZING Story! Heart wrenching, tear jerking true story that really hits close to home. I do say this though, you HAVE to read "Lone Survivor" and "Service" the books. Both written by Marcus Luttrell, in order to really appreciate this story and those who died. God bless all the men and woman who serve(d) this country, their families, and all who support them. For the people of our great nation, I will march with my brothers, through the foe, to the objective, to triumph over all. If necessary I will fight to my death; May we rid this world of all it's evils and those who stand in our way. For the fire within us cannot kill us, and when my time comes I say to my brothers, "May we regroup in hell and live to fight another day."
Excellent wonderful sad This movie was so touching was action packed made me see what mistakes was made from the beginning that made the events unfold in this true story. I thank my soldiers for all they go through and have done for our country facing evil face to face fighting to keep us free and safe god bless them they are what make America. I cried in the end it was so so sad just a all out excellent movie excellent!!!!!
Lone survivor Great story could have been a lot better movie if they had some good actors in it these are some of the worst actors Hollywood has to offer especially Mark Wahlberg Emile Hirsch Eric Bana and the other bozo they had in this movie just wish Hollywood but take these types of stories a little more serious and put some good actors in them and not just try to make a quick buck
This is why America is America Extremely well made movie with extremely great acting, Mark wahlburg is a given for good acting but all the other actors did their thing. This isn't just a movie. This is the story of extremely brave men who died fighting for our freedom. I can appreciate this because like many others I have lost a brother to this fight against terrorism and hatred.

Excellent movie based from Marcus Luttrell 's own experience in Afghanistan. Great acting and almost perfect Navy Seals intelligence. My only con's are who every put together operation Red Wing, In my opinion. Problem from the beginning. They knew the terrain would be rough, better coms should of been in play as well as long range snipers. They had the bad guys in their sight and sniper can make a kill shot at over 600 yards. Not easy, but better than jumping off rock's? Come on, whoever put together this operation, if alive, should be in prison. No Navy Seal should of ever been put in that position..

Two-time Academy Award-winner Ron Howard delivers the exhilarating true story of a legendary rivalry that rocked the world. During the sexy and glamorous golden age of Formula 1 racing, two drivers emerged as the best: gifted English playboy James Hunt (Chris Hemsworth, The Avengers) and his methodical, brilliant Austrian opponent, Niki Lauda (Daniel Brühl, Inglourious Basterds). As they mercilessly clash on and off the Grand Prix racetrack, the two drivers push themselves to the breaking point of physical and psychological endurance, where there's no shortcut to victory and no margin for error. Co-starring Olivia Wilde (TRON: Legacy), it's the heart-racing, epic, action-drama that critics are calling "one of the best movies of this, or any, year" (Pete Hammond, Movieline).

As the stakes rise along with the body count, Danny and Hunter are soon plunged into an action-packed game of cat-and-mouse where no one is what they seem.

Premium Rush
Dodging speeding cars, crazed cabbies and eight million cranky pedestrians is all in a day's work for Wilee (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), the best of New York's agile and aggressive bicycle messengers. It takes a special breed to ride the fixie - super lightweight, single-gear bikes with no brakes and riders who are equal part skilled cyclists and nutcases who risk becoming a smear on the pavement every time they head into traffic. But a guy who's used to putting his life on the line is about to get more than even he is used to when his last envelope of the day - a routine "premium rush" run - turns into a life-or-death chase through the streets of Manhattan. Also starring Michael Shannon, Dania Ramirez and Jamie Chung. 2012 Columbia Pictures Industries, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
