Emotional

Rating: 7/10 (19 January 2014)

Lone Survivor could be compared to Peter Berg's Friday Night Lights since he relied on the same tools, a very stylish cinematography and a soundtrack still from Explosion in the Sky that both arouse this such singular emotion, and it works more than well.
Sure, the story remains very classic but you get carried away by this band of brothers and their incredible will to survive this trap, through a nervous camera that perfectly films, and with no restraint, the violence of combat.
The rhythm is intense and gives the viewer little respite, too bad the epilogue, calmer but also more laborious, breaks this such good dynamic and struggles to conclude a captivating, emotional movie which, for once, avoids the foreigner-bad guy stereotype, and which you will forgive its few clichées and melodramatic dialogues.
