A film based on a true story worth watching.

Rating: 7/10 (16 June 2014)

wasn't sure about this film before watching, thought it might be a bit of a slow drama about how caring and brave US soldiers are in the face of adversity. And it's a true story so however the film depicts them, it must be true..
In fact this film is about a group of soldiers getting shot the crap out of for over and hour. where in most films two groups of people shoot at each other, and bullets fly off the ground and rocks, but unless they land a fatal blow, people generally don't get hit, pretty much the opposite here, they get hit.. a lot. I mean they really did not have a good day up on that hill. And the hero of it all, was a local villager.
Was a good film, and the slideshow of the end of the real people depicted in the film was good, especially the one of the 'lone survivor' and the villager that saved him.
