I'm pretty sure he got to have input in to the movie and wondered how good a job he felt the producers/actors did. Looks like he's pleased.

After reading the book a year or two ago, I’ve been waiting for this movie, and I never go to the movies.

I was wondering what kind of movie this would be. Don’t want to go see it if its just another of Hollywierd’s anti-American productions.

Rule #1 when you are compromised on a mission. Immediate exfil
Rule #2 when comms fail. Immediate exfil
When 300 terrorists are hunting you down and you have no QRF, air support or exfil plan - see rule#1 and rule#2.

I've seen it three times, and I thought it was a really good movie. The only problem I had with it was that every time they got shot , covering the wound with dirt seemed to magically stop all bleeding.

When is this movie going to be released? I ususally wait til a movie is available on demand via cable, but this looks like a worthwhile exception.

I just bought the book from iTunes/iBooks for $3.99. Reading it on my iPad now and planning on going to the movie next weekend! Lutrell is on the Beck show right now.

Murphy deserved his MOH and Luttrell has done the memory of his brothers well. I've read the book a couple of times and look forward to seeing a movie made as close to the real thing as possibly could be done.
To: rktman
We are going to risk going out to the theatre to see it this weekend...
hear it’s worth it....
To: rktman
Great movie.
Watch for Marcus in a cameo role. Several instances.
Speaking lines and all.

It opened last night at our local theater, and I must say I was pissed the entire time while watching it. One guy’s piss poor decision led to the deaths of 20+ people. I am not even trained nor a soldier but who on earth cuts enemies and lets them leave, only to come back with guns. One of them had a com device, most likely Taliban, and the one approx. 20 yo kid looked like a soldier to all of the guys.
The lone survivor was an idiot. I believe he is telling this story simply to assuage his guilt.
