Rating: 7/10
Notable Star: Mark Wahlberg
Director: Peter Berg
Marcus Luttrel (Mark Wahlberg) and his team set out to kill or capture a notorious a Taliban named Ahmed Shah in a village of Afghanistan. The operation consisted of 4 senior Marines. Danny (Emile Hirsch), Murphy (Kitsch) and Axelson (Ben Foster) were the other three partners (or as they were all called Brothers) in this extremely dangerous mission.
The movie was a little lame in the starting but I guess it wasn't that bad because their actions of waiting and designing a plan to commence are justifiable. As the First hour past by, the exchange of fire and Brutal killings kicked off. The scenes felt so realistic yet so unrealistic at the same time. Hero kills so many Terrorists but Terrorists aren't able to bring down a single seal (Ladies and Gentlemen, the traditional fire exchange combat awakens in the midst of the Movie). Axelson receives a headshot without a helmet but still survives whereas Terrorists are awaiting a single headshot and before you know it, they fall upon their doom.
The rating of 7 are owed to Effects, Make Up and Acting. Though I was initially planning on giving it a 6 but the ending (ehm! Befitting ending) forced me to upgrade it a notch. Even though I don't regret watching this movie, it wouldn't be too bad to get my 2 hours back.
The funniest part of the movie was, 'A single Rocket brought down the Helicopter but 10 couldn't bring down a SINGLE SEAL (That's right people)'
