1st. Rotten Tomato reviews are horrible.
2nd. This movie is about the men that died that day and a tribute to them. It is NOT about the mission, the politics of war, money, or the desperate need for men to get their gun on.
This movie tells a story of a small group of Navy SEALS sent on a reconnaissance mission when their covert status is blown and they are overrun by the very people they were sent to seek out.
They (the SEALs) show their selflessness under unbelievable odds. Truly heroic men willing to give their lives for another… Specifically their brothers in arms. A great war story that is better than what Hollywood could ever drum up. Quite frankly because the actors/directors/producers/etc. of Hollywood do not understand the way of life required by such men... why they are the way they are... the discipline, self sacrifice, and drive that it takes to have such selfless honor like they do. Marcus Luttrell has done well to bring the proper honor and respect to all those men those 3 days.
