Lone Survivor
The key to surviving in the wilderness is to avoid going into the wilderness in the first place.
Unfortunately, for the Navy SEALs in this action movie, it's part of their job.
When a Taliban leader is located in a remote region of Afghanistan, snipers Marcus Luttrell (Mark Wahlberg) and Matthew Axelson (Ben Foster), along with spotters Danny Dietz (Emile Hirsch) and Michael P. Murphy (Taylor Kitsch), are dispatched to a nearby mountain range.
Waiting for a shot, the team encounters goat herders. Torn between killing them and freeing them, Luttrell eventually let's them go.
Moments later, they're attacked by their targets. Outnumbered and out-gunned, the team makes their last stand.
Based on the best-selling biography, this intensely violent and emotionally draining adaptation is a shocking example of military ineptitude, and the senseless valor it can produce.
Besides, when pinned down by Islamic fundamentalist, it's time to start praying to Allah.
