Who were the real heroes ??

Rating: 6/10 (7 June 2014)

This portrayal of 'Marcus Luttrell' is interesting viewing with any movie about human spirit overcoming the odds, being inspirational to watch. However many reviews this film has got are flattering to say the least. As a war movie, this hardly compares to 'Saving Private Ryan' or 'Born on the Fourth of July' and as a biopic, it's obvious this has been largely exaggerated. The cast is good and they deliver based on what they are given, but the film ignores them as people and fails to allow the viewer to empathise with their sacrifice and the role of the villagers is also largely ignored. Without giving too much away, I hope when people watch this movie, they are able to recognise who the real heroes were. That's if we can get over our own prejudice.
