Awesome flick. I saw a lot of people sitting in seats at end, many a tear, and at least 3 guys with hats down covering the fact they were upset.
Powerful movie, a fair amount of artistic liberty but overall the story made it point. And it was cool seeng Marcus in several scenes.

A list of the differences between the book and the movie. And reality and the book.
Or maybe you could buy the book or e-book? http://www.amazon.com/Lone-Survivor-...=lone+survivorQuote:

'Lone Survivor': Box-office mission accomplished with stunning $38M
Quote:
"Lone Survivor," a gritty tale of courage and honor among American fighting men, broke out with a stunning $38.5 million triumph at the U.S. box office this weekend.
The Afghan war drama starring Mark Wahlberg and Emile Hirsch more than doubled distributor Universal Pictures' pre-release projections. The studio and most analysts had expected the searing and violent tale of a Navy SEAL mission gone awry to land in the high-teen millions over the three days. Instead, it posted the best opening ever on this weekend, and the second-highest January debut ever, behind only the $40 million opening of 2008's "Cloverfield."
It was a hit with critics coming in, but the patriotic themes of "Lone Survivor" clearly struck an unexpectedly powerful chord with moviegoers, who turned out in large numbers and gave the film a rare "A+" CinemaScore.
I saw it Saturday at the matinee showing in the Orchard with 4 friends. We spent the morning shooting, ate wings and beer at BWW's on hwy 7, then saw the flick. It was a great manly day with good men.
We all loved the movie and had to fight back tears at the end. As much as I enjoyed the movie, the book was still way better.
First thing that came to mind during that scene was to leave their hands bound behind their backs. Descent would have been much slower without the ability to use arms. Of course hind sight is 20/20.Quote:
