Lone Survivor - 7/10

I was so excited when the trailers were released that I re-read the book. I was a little let down by the movie. It's decent from an entertainment point of view, but the entire movie felt extremely rushed.

I dont think we're getting the real story tho
Nope, not even close. The combat scenes were all pretty accurate, but there a lot of inconsistencies as to what really happened (probably decisions made from a production/directorial stand point). The latter half of the book and the time he spends with the Afghan people is pretty profound and really quite interesting... none of that was captured.

I highly recommend reading the book to understand what Luttrell actually went through.
