I thought sections of this (especially the battle on the hillside turning from first-person-shooter thrills to nightmare) were brilliant. Some of it seemed ridiculous, but then, the most ridiculous thing of all seemed the guy risking the lives of his whole village to help Marcus Luttrell, yet it seems that really happened, so what do I know? The Taliban attack on the village at the end of the film is fictional, though.

seeing this in a packed theater of white slobs weeping and sobbing every time one of Are Brave Boys died was one of the best/most surreal theater experiences i've ever had. and it has the most insane guy-rolling-down-a-ravine-and-hitting-every-rock-on-the-way-down scene since that ep of the Simpsons where homer falls down a cliff twice. and then during the 'Heroes' montage at the end they edit it so when the guy yells on the song it's timed perfectly with a shot of a SEAL yelling in agony or something, how is this movie real

weirdest thing about this awful, fetishistic movie to me is that the ways in which the three soldiers die onscreen differs slightly from the best guesses as to what happened to them in real life.
like, the reality wasn't dramatic enough for berg, he had to add some flourishes like the bullets slamming into the tree behind the guy's head before he gets one in the temple?
