Of Hunters Being Hunted

Rating: 9/10 (28 May 2018)

I re-watched Lone Survivor lately and its still a damn fine war movie: fine cast, top choreographed action scenes and pro production, well done soundtrack, and even if its very fictional, the audience gets a taste of the realities of war.
All in all a perfect movie about modern warfare like Black Hawk Down and American Sniper, Hurt Locker and Jarhead, just to name a few.
And yes, I agree with some critics, Lone Survivor got a good shot of patriotism, but anyway, many (if not most) soldiers are patriots, so if patriotism is used in a movie to show the "mental-state" or moral and motivations of the soldiers (camaraderie etc.) , its just fine for me - as long as the movie shows us that war takes its toll from all involved too.
A real gem for the aficionado of war movies.
