Lone Survivor follows the real story of the Red Wings operation carried out by Navy SEALS in Afghanistan. The film does a good job at introducing us to the key figures involved. The sheer brutality of the situation and war is presented intensely throughout the film and as viewers it is a hard watch to see the pain suffered by the figures throughout the film. Lone Survivor places heavy focus on the bond between brothers in arms which evokes further emotion from viewers. The pain suffered by those in war and their families is often unimaginable and this film stands as evidence to that. Overall, it is a very impressive war film, a poignant depiction of real war and most importantly a fantastic depiction of some of the real dangers faced by those in action.
