Powerful Film

Rating: 10/10 (13 January 2014)

I saw "Lone Survivor" during a matinée showing on opening weekend, and the theater was just about full. It was one of the few times that I can remember a movie ending and there was complete silence from the crowd – nothing at all. People just quietly got up and left, the movie was that powerful.
I had read the book prior to watching the movie, and I think they did a good job following the story in the book. I am also a big fan of Peter Berg, Taylor Kitsch and "Friday Night Lights." The soundtrack to the film was reminiscent of the music used during the series, and I felt that it was the perfect backdrop for the various scenes.
