I mean it's not bad, but not as good as the book

Rating: 8/10 (12 March 2017)

//SPOILERS//
After reading the book about once or twice, bearing in mind this was about a year ago, i feel rather, well, ashamed that the movie/film didn't live up to my expectations. The book was all written by Marcus Luttrell and because Marcus was in the conflict and watched everything happen this makes the story almost completely true.
However, the film, it was good the action and gore added to the realistic feeling like you are there and watching it happen, the effects were outstanding, i really did feel like i was in there, i could imagine it. However, where the film starts to disappoint is the story itself. Be aware that i have not read the book in a year, but i remember in the book Marcus fought/stood his ground with his rifle in the battle against the Taliban in the village, at least in the last part before extraction, because and i quote from the book "I looked at Gulab. He was braced for action, leaning in the window with me, one eye on the front door. We both clicked our safety latches open." I think it is the Pashtunwali tribe or clan of some kind that saves Marcus in the end. Unfortunately, they removed this bit probably due top the length of the film which stretches just over 2 hours.
By all means if you want to buy it feel free, it is very enjoyable and gives you a taste of what modern combat is like, probably, and is a very good film for those remarks.
