Overall, i liked this action picture, the sound design and sound editing were really top notch (no wonder it got 2 Oscar nominations) - you can hear every detail in the forest, every breaking bone (ye, the fall from cliffs scene was gripping). When someone is being killed in this movie (exept for bad guys from Taliban), it's shown in a similar way as Jim Caviezel aka.Jesus was suffering in 'The Passion of the Christ' - only true American heroes die like that, not afghans who are more or less just a meat between bullets and Americans in this movie. 'Lone Survivor' is good action movie, with some heroic stuff (they definitely couldn't avoid that.), and i know that it's based on real events, thats why i'm giving it 8, because many of things displayed in picture were sadly true, many, but definitely not all. I read some reviews about 'Lone Survivor' where it was mentioned alongside to a 'Saving Private Ryan' - you can throw a rock at me if this comes close to 'Saving Private Ryan' which is beyond many moons and seas compared to 'Lone Survivor'.
