Upon starting time learning of the book in 2007, Berg arranged several meetings with Luttrell to discuss adapting the book to film. Universal Pictures caused the film rights in August 2007, after bidding against other major studios. In re-enacting events, Berg drew much of his screenplay from Luttrell'south eyewitness accounts in the book, as well as autopsy and incident reports related to the mission. Subsequently directing Battleship (2012) for Universal, Berg resumed working on Lone Survivor. Principal photography began in October 2012 and concluded in November, after 42 days. Filming took identify on location in New Mexico, using digital cinematography. Luttrell and several other Navy SEAL veterans acted as technical advisors, while multiple branches of the United states of america Armed forces aided the product. 2 companies, Industrial Light & Magic and Image Engine, created the visual furnishings.

Lone Survivor opened in limited release in the United states on December 25, 2013, before opening beyond Due north America on Jan 10, 2014. Information technology received generally positive reviews; critics praised Berg's management and realism, besides every bit the acting, story, visuals and battle sequences, though some criticism was directed at the movie'southward focus on action rather than label. It grossed over $154 million, of which $125 one thousand thousand was from Due north America. It was chosen by National Board of Review every bit one of the top ten films of 2013 and received two Oscar nominations for Best Audio Editing and Best Sound Mixing.

Plot [edit]

Ahmad Shah, a local Taliban warlord in the Korangal Valley is identified as the person responsible for the deaths of several Marines, plus many villagers who are believed to take aided the American forces in Afghanistan. A Navy SEAL squad, consisting of Michael Irish potato, Matthew Axelson, Danny Dietz and Marcus Luttrell, is ordered to capture Shah.

Inserted overnight via helicopter, the iv-man team brand their fashion toward Shah's last known location. Due to the mountainous terrain the squad are operating in, communications with J-Bad get hard. Though the team identify Shah, they are discovered by local villagers; i of whom is carrying a walkie-talkie. Assertive that the villagers are Taliban sympathisers, the SEALs debate setting them free or killing them. Tater orders them to exist set costless.

The squad keep up the mountainside, aborting their mission and intend to extract. However, true to the SEALs' concerns the villagers alert the Taliban, who pursue the squad. Though the SEALs begin with the advantage, the sheer number of the Taliban forces begins to overwhelm them and their position. Pushed toward a ravine the SEALs are given little choice but to spring, only are thrown off balance when an RPG detonates in front of them. Dietz is killed and the remaining SEALs try badly to raise support. Murphy scales the cliff to gain a articulate signal which finally alerts the QRF, though he is killed presently afterwards.

The QRF scrambles to the SEALs' aid, though the two Chinook helicopters fly in without Apache support. Briefly encouraged by the inflow of reinforcements, Luttrell and Axelson sentry helplessly as one Chinook is shot down by an RPG. The 2nd aborts, leaving Luttrell and Axelson to fend for themselves. Already grievously wounded from battle, the disoriented Axelson is soon cornered by Taliban gunmen and killed. Luttrell is also discovered, though he survives an RPG attack and is able to hide from his pursuers overnight and escapes.

Wandering solitary, Luttrell happens across a small stream when he is discovered by Mohammed Gulab, a local Pashtun. Taking the wounded and wearied Luttrell into his intendance, Gulab hides him from the Taliban in his domicile, and besides sends another villager to the nearest American base of operations to study on Luttrell'due south location. Shah arrives at the village to execute Luttrell, still the villagers resist. Shah leaves, but returns after with several Taliban gunmen and engage the villagers. Rangers arrive mid battle and evacuate Luttrell, who likewise cheers Mohammed for his assistance.

Images of the existent Luttrell, Gulab and the fallen service members killed during the mission are shown during a four-infinitesimal montage, and an epilogue explains that the Pashtun villagers agreed to help Luttrell equally part of a traditional code of honor known as the Pashtunwali.

Bandage [edit]

What makes this story so special is the bond and the esprit betwixt the guys, but also the country of where we are in the world today. The act of heroism past Gulab and his fellow villagers moved me the virtually. I found it so inspiring, and it gave me so much hope for the world.

Production [edit]

Evolution [edit]

When I read the book, I knew instantly that this would be a perfect picture show for [Berg]. His strengths every bit a director are in taking an audience into a closed globe ... He loves to take an audience into a globe and show them the details but and so hit them with this emotional wallop. The volume has this incredibly emotional story of brotherhood and sacrifice, and so ultimately, in the story with Gulab, this grace and humanity even in the midst of war.

—Sarah Aubrey (producer)^{[3] : sixteen}

Following publication of Marcus Luttrell and Patrick Robinson's nonfiction book Lone Survivor (2007), producer Barry Spikings met Luttrell'south attorney Alan Schwartz, who was interested in making a moving-picture show accommodation.^{[3] [half dozen]} Schwartz suggested that Spikings' son-in-law Akiva Goldsman write the screenplay. Goldsman did not believe he was the correct screenwriter for the project, and suggested that Peter Berg write and direct the motion picture.^{[half dozen]} Spikings and Goldsman passed the book on to Berg's producing partner Sarah Aubrey.^{[3] [seven]} Berg first learned of the volume while filming Hancock,^[8] and later he and Aubrey read it, they arranged several meetings with Luttrell to discuss a film adaptation. Luttrell also viewed a rough cut of Berg'due south then-upcoming film The Kingdom (2007), and was impressed by his direction. "[Berg] defenseless me with his attending to detail", he said, "and how he portrayed the enemy in the film."^{[3] [eight]}

The film rights to the book had become the subject of a bidding war among a host of established studios, including Warner Bros., Sony Pictures Entertainment, Paramount Pictures, DreamWorks, and Universal Pictures. Universal secured the rights in August 2007, for more than $ii million.^[7] The studio had also acquired the Usa distribution rights as part of a negative pickup deal with the movie's producers.^[9] Berg then chose to direct Battleship (2012) for Universal earlier resuming product on Lone Survivor.^{[10] [xi]}

Writer and director Peter Berg, pictured in 2012

When Mark Wahlberg read the script and expressed an interest in portraying Luttrell, he and his manager Stephen Levinson pitched the concept to producer Randall Emmett, the co-founder of Emmett/Furla Films, during the 2012 filming of 2 Guns. After reading the script, Emmett traveled to Los Angeles, where he met with Berg and Aubrey to discuss the picture show's product.^{[12] [thirteen]} Subsequently Universal secured the rights to distribute Lonely Survivor in the United states of america, United Kingdom and Italy, executive producer Marking Damon'due south independent film visitor Foresight Unlimited took Berg and Emmett to the 2012 Cannes Film Festival to secure worldwide pre-sales. The motion picture attracted $30 one thousand thousand in worldwide pre-sales to distributors in 40 international markets.^{[14] [xv]}

Alone Survivor had an estimated budget of $twoscore 1000000.^[2] Three production companies – Emmett/Furla Films, Herrick Entertainment, and Envision Amusement – collaborated to finance the flick.^{[xiv] [16]} In addition, every bit function of the negative pickup bargain with Universal, the movie's producers—Berg, Aubrey, Spikings, Goldsman, Emmett, Wahlberg, Levinson, Norton Herrick, and Vitaly Grigoriants—contributed at to the lowest degree $ane million each to finance product costs.^[17] To avoid further costs, Berg chose to work for a minimum bacon allowed under Directors Guild of America rules, $17,000 a week.^{[17] [xviii]} He likewise convinced several bandage and crew members to lower their request prices.^[17]

Casting [edit]

Berg had discussed the project with Wahlberg, Taylor Kitsch, Emile Hirsch, and Ben Foster years earlier.^[3] Universal held an open casting phone call in Los Angeles, aiding in the filmmakers' search for supporting actors, extras, photo doubles, and stand-ins.^[19] In August 2012, it was announced that Alexander Ludwig and Eric Bana had joined the cast.^{[twenty] [21]}

Although Wahlberg, Kitsch, Hirsch and Foster had physically trained for their roles prior to filming, Luttrell organized a three-week training regimen at a bootcamp in New Mexico,^{[22] [23]} where the actors were trained past elite military personnel in weapons, war machine communications, and tactics.^[3] Armed forces advisor Marker Semos^[23] trained the 4 actors in live-firing exercises so they could feel the physical bear on of firing military rifles. They also adept "shoot move comprehend" drills to enable them to react convincingly as Navy SEALs during filming.^[24]

Writing [edit]

This story is virtually working together for something bigger than our ego, bigger than our individuality. It's about coming together as a group—protecting each other, loving each other, looking out for each other—and finding a greater strength equally a squad than you could ever discover as an private. Marcus [Luttrell] wrote a book that, every bit much equally it's about xix people existence killed on a tragic day in Transitional islamic state of afghanistan, is about alliance, sacrifice and team commitment.

—Peter Berg (author, manager and producer)^{[iii] : sixteen}

While the book chronicles Luttrell's 1999 enlistment and training, too every bit his 2005 deployment to Afghanistan, Berg decided that the film adaptation would focus mainly on the events of the failed United States Navy SEALs mission Performance Red Wings, as well as the bonding and camaraderie of Luttrell and his fallen teammates.^[three] Prior to writing the screenplay, Berg met with the families of the deceased. "My research started with meeting the families of the SEAL teammates who were killed", he said. "I went to New York and met the Murphys. I went to Colorado and met the Dietzes, and I went to Northern California and met the Axelsons. After spending time with them, you realize that these kids were the best and the brightest; they were the stars of the families. The grief and the wounds are still very raw. You would have to be inhuman to not feel the responsibility when that kind of grief gets shared with yous."^[3] Berg too expressed that he was motivated by the families to make the story as realistic as possible;^[25] his goal was "to put [the viewer] into the feel of what these guys went through. And information technology was obviously a traumatic and violent and exhausting experience".^[26]

To provide authenticity, Luttrell moved into Berg'due south home for i calendar month while Berg was writing the script. He acted as a consultant, detailing to Berg his bystander business relationship of the events that unfolded during Performance Red Wings.^[3] Berg later on embedded with a Navy SEAL team—condign the commencement civilian to do so—and lived with them for a calendar month in Republic of iraq while he connected writing the screenplay.^{[27] [28]} In re-enacting the injuries and deaths of the fallen Navy SEAL servicemen, Berg relied on Luttrell'south bystander accounts from the book, equally well as autopsy reports of the deceased and after-action reports.^[29] The United States Navy provided incident reports related to the mission,^[25] as well as archival military grooming footage, which is shown during the film's opening credits sequence.^{[27] : ane} Yet photographs shown during the opening credits sequence were taken from Richard D. Schoenberg'due south war photography volume The Just Easy Day Was Yesterday: Making Navy SEALs.^[three] During filming, there were some dialogue changes in comparison to Berg'southward script, every bit the filmmaker occasionally encouraged the actors to improvise their lines.^[28]

Filming [edit]

Primary photography [edit]

Principal photography was scheduled to start on September 15, 2012,^[15] but did not commence until Oct of that year. The pic was shot on location in New United mexican states.^{[3] [10] [17]} The production received a 25% tax credit for shooting in the country.^[thirty] Berg was granted creative autonomy, equally Universal did not fully oversee the moving picture's production.^[9] With Alone Survivor, Berg connected his trademark of having war veterans every bit part of his film crew.^[31] Luttrell, along with several other Navy SEAL veterans, acted as technical advisors during the production.^[24] In addition, senior military advisor Harry Humphries, a onetime Navy SEAL who had worked with Berg on Hancock and The Kingdom, served every bit an associate producer.^[iii]

Filming first took place at the Sangre de Cristo Mountains of the Santa Fe National Wood. Viii days were spent on mountains ranging from eleven,000 to 12,000 feet (3,400–3,700 m). In recreating the Hindu Kush mountain range that stretches between Afghanistan and Pakistan, the film crew shot at x separate locations in the national forest.^[3] Stunt coordinator and second unit of measurement managing director Kevin Scott was given the chore of depicting the four Navy SEALs tumbling down rugged terrain with lx-degree inclines. Scott did not choreograph the stunts, nor did he have the performers use wires or dummies;^{[24] [32]} He instructed them to fall 15 to 20 feet (4.six–half-dozen.1 m) off cliffs and avoid looking at the ground until correct before bear upon.^[33] Several stunt performers were injured after falling from the mountains, as the falls proved too difficult to control.^[32]

Production moved to Chilili, New Mexico for two weeks of filming. The location's wooded areas were used to film several boxing scenes, and the art department congenital sets to create an Afghan village occupied by Ahmad Shah (Yousuf Azami) and his Taliban insurgents, too as a Pashtun village where Luttrell (Marker Wahlberg) is rescued. Filming and then moved to Kirtland Air Forcefulness Base in Albuquerque, New United mexican states, which doubled for scenes set in Bagram Airfield, a U.S. military base in Afghanistan. The production and then moved to soundstages at I-25 Studios in Albuquerque.^[3] The filmmakers occupied two 26,000-square-pes (2,400 m²) stages in the facility^[34] for interior scenes and bluescreen work.^[3] The art section built the grapheme Gulab's house, likewise equally interiors for Bagram Airfield's patrol base Camp Ouellette. The bluescreen work involved scenes depicting a CH-47 Chinook in a gimbal, and a 4-pes scale model of a Hindu Kush mountain cliff built by the fine art department team in Los Angeles.^{[3] [27] : 1} Primary photography concluded in Nov 2012, after 42 days of filming.^{[3] [ten] [17]}

Cinematography [edit]

[Berg] wanted the audience to be as close to our characters and equally close to the activity as possible to feel the extreme circumstances our war heroes had to go through emotionally and physically.

—Tobias Schliessler (cinematographer)^{[35] : ii}

Alone Survivor was managing director of photography Tobias Schliessler's fifth collaboration with Berg,^{[4] : 51} also as Berg's first film to be shot digitally. Schliessler intended to shoot the film with Arri Alexa cameras, merely instead used Red Epic digital cameras with Fujinon and Angénieux lenses.^{[35] : 2} He chose the Ruby-red Ballsy camera "due to its compact size and lightweight torso."^{[35] : two}

For the pic'southward visual style, Schliessler was influenced past British-American photojournalist Tim Hetherington's war photography volume Infidel, which details a unmarried U.South. platoon assigned to an outpost in the Korengal Valley during the war in Transitional islamic state of afghanistan.^{[35] : 2} Prior to filming, Schleissler and Berg shot examination footage with the digital cameras and brought it to digital colorist Stefan Sonnenfeld at mail service-production facility Company iii for colour grading.^{[35] : iv}

The Santa Fe National Forest's rocky terrain and steep inclines proved difficult for conventional camera equipment—such equally cranes and dollies—which resulted in much of the film'due south scenes being shot by the camera operators, who were rigged to aerial ski lifts above the action.^[three] "The location we picked was on top of the ski area above 12,000 feet in Santa Fe, and the high altitude made information technology extremely physically demanding", Schleissler explained. "All our equipment had to exist manus-carried into some of our remote locations, which meant we had to limit ourselves to the bare minimum ... No one ever hiked to the set empty-handed, including our producers. It was ane big team effort that made the states a close picture show family unit."^{[35] : ii}

Digital cinema post-production facility Palatial supplied the product with a 40-pes trailer, known equally the EC3 (a articulation venture between Company 3 and EFILM). The equipment enabled Schleissler to oversee every shot of the film in the EC3 trailer. He also collaborated with colorist Adrian Delude in irresolute the exposure for all cameras used which, co-ordinate to Schliessler, "would take been more hard when shooting on film."^{[35] : ii} Company iii carried out the digital intermediate.^[iii]

Design and effects [edit]

To produce the many injuries received by the four-homo SEAL team, the filmmakers recruited KNB Effects team Gregory Nicotero and Howard Berger. To aid Nicotero and Berger in recreating the injuries of the fallen servicemen, Berg provided autopsy reports of the deceased. Special effects supervisor Bruno van Zeebroeck created RPG explosions and bullet hits for the boxing sequences that occur in the roads around Gulab'due south dwelling house.^[3]

Multiple branches of the United States Armed Forces supplied the production with armed forces vehicles. The United States Air Force provided two Sikorsky HH-lx Pave Hawks from Kirtland Air Strength Base, both of which were flown past military personnel and used to depict a combat search and rescue. The United States Regular army provided the production with two CH-47F Chinooks and two Boeing AH-64 Apaches from Fort Hood, Texas. The United states of america Marine Corps provided thirty Marine Corps reservists for scenes set in Bagram Airfield and Jalalabad.^[iii] According to The Economist, Beretta paid the production company $250,000 to use their guns in the film in place of the Sig Sauer p226 and Kimber 1911s weapons actually used past SEAL teams.^[36]

Costume design [edit]

Costume designer Amy Stofsky ensured that the armed services wardrobe seen in the film reflected the 2005 time menses. According to Stofsky, what the fallen servicemen wore back then is no longer electric current event, equally the Us Armed Forces stopped manufacturing the uniforms in 2006. While researching the time catamenia, Stofsky met with the fallen servicemen's families, besides as Navy SEAL teammates.^[37] Stofsky and the wardrobe department collaborated with the Hollywood-based costume facility Western Costume to find the right cloth for the armed services uniforms. She and her team manufactured uniforms for the film's pb actors, extras, stunt and photo doubles, and armed forces personnel who were likewise acting as extras. Stofksy noted that a total of "36 cookie cutter uniforms" were produced for Wahlberg.^[37]

In designing the costumes for the Pashtun people and Taliban forces, Stofsky aimed to create a visual distinction between the villagers and Taliban fighters. "Luttrell survived because of the historic period-former tradition of the Pashtun culture in providing hospitality and safety to those that enter their dwelling", she explained. "We dyed the Taliban's costumes black, charcoal, wine, and indigo and kept the villagers light. Their humanity prevails. This is what we hoped to get beyond." Stofsky utilized a North Hollywood-based Afghan vendor, Moe Noorzai, for traditional Afghan habiliment including vests, pants, dresses and Kashmir scarves. Stofsky likewise had a New United mexican states-based tailor produce all of the turbans featured in the film.^[37]

Zarin Mohammad Rahimi, an Afghan refugee who fled to the U.s. to avoid the Taliban, and his sons, Muhammad Nawroz Rahimi and Nawaz Rahimi, were hired equally technical advisors during product. The Rahimis collaborated with Stofsky, also every bit the wardrobe and casting departments, to assist them understand the linguistic communication, customs and fighting methods of the Pashtun villagers and Taliban fighters. Zarin Mohammad Rahimi appeared in a minor merely pivotal role as an elderly shepherd.^[3]

Post-product [edit]

Editing [edit]

Editing and post-product work took roughly vii months to consummate.^{[35] : iii} Colby Parker Jr. served as editor, having previously worked with Berg on editing Battleship. Parker spent six months editing the motion-picture show at the Lantana Entertainment Media Campus in Santa Monica, California.^{[35] : 3 [38]} The editorial department used four Avid Media Composer systems to edit the film. Parker edited the film during main photography, only was not on location. "I similar to blast through the footage to go on upwards with the camera. This way I can let [Berg] know if any extra coverage is needed", he explained. "Frequently I'll get discussion to the 1st [assistant managing director] and he'll sneak in actress shots if the schedule permits. Although I will have a offset assembly when the production wraps, Peter volition never sit down though a complete viewing of that. He works in a very linear manner, and then equally we start to view a scene, if there's something that bothers him, we'll stop and accost it."

The first cut of the film was two-and-a-one-half hours long. Parker so cut the film down to 2 hours when he realized there was a way to farther trim the picture show. "There were a number of scenes that paced well when we intercut them rather than letting them play every bit written in a linear manner. For instance, we wanted to permit the mission briefing scene play commonly—this is where the SEAL team is briefed on their target. That scene was followed past a scene of the target beheading a local. We realized that an actual briefing is very technical and rote, and then intercutting these scenes helped keep the audience engaged."^[38]

Sound editing and mixing piece of work took place at Todd Soundelux.^[39] Supervising sound editor Wylie Stateman recorded on-location sound during filming, placing microphones on the actors' backpacks and clothing "so [the viewers] would hear explosions and bullets going by every bit though [they] were with these guys equally they were being attacked."^[forty] In creating sound effects for the environment of each scene, Stateman relied on foley pattern, rather than traditional sound effects.^[38]

Visual effects [edit]

The ii visual furnishings companies for the film were Industrial Light & Magic (ILM) and Image Engine,^{[35] : three} with overall supervision past Grady Cofer and Jesper Kjölsrud, respectively. In total, the film has over 400 visual furnishings shots.^[41] ILM was responsible just for creating a helicopter crash sequence in the film.^{[35] : three} Berg requested that the sequence be done by ILM, who had too worked on his previous film Battleship.^[41] Paradigm Engine's effects work consisted mainly of set extensions and location enhancements; scenes were supplemented with calculator-generated mountains, buildings and backgrounds, likewise equally cage flashes for firearms.^{[35] : 3 [41]}

Music [edit]

The film'southward score was composed by Steve Jablonsky and American post-rock band Explosions in the Sky.^[42] Jablonsky said of the collaboration, "It was great. I didn't work directly with them because they're in Austin, Texas and I'm in Fifty.A. I spoke to them on the phone and I think sixty, sixty‑v per centum of the scores is them. We ended up doing our own things. Nosotros tried to not accept 2 totally different sounding scores."^[43]

Berg said, "[Jablonsky] did the final reel; the band Explosions in the Sky did pretty much did everything else. They have an emotional, tender quality to their music, even when information technology gets ambitious. I didn't want the score to be overly aggressive, I wanted it to be haunting and emotional. Steve Jablonsky came in at the end to exercise something more traditional, but when Steve does "traditional", it'south not the usual strings. He created a wonderful sound at the very end."^[28] The move picture soundtrack album was released on December 17, 2013 by record characterization City Motion picture Music.^[44]

Historical accurateness [edit]

While the film was based on actual events, it has been noted that it contained a number of historical inaccuracies.^[45]

The number of Taliban fighters involved in the ambush has been widely disputed. In Marcus Luttrell's original after-action report, he stated that he and his teammates were attacked by 20–35 insurgents, while his book places the number at over 200.^[46] The screenplay describes "A solid line of at least fifty Taliban in firing positions on peak of the hill above them."^[46] The summary of action for Lt. Irish potato's posthumous Medal of Accolade describes the enemy force equally numbering "more than 50,"^[47] while the official citation puts the number at "betwixt 30 and 40 enemy fighters."^[48]

In his book, Victory Point: Operations Red Wings and Whalers – the Marine Corps' Battle for Liberty in Transitional islamic state of afghanistan, military journalist Ed Darack cites a armed forces intelligence written report stating the strength of the Taliban forcefulness to be 8–10. The armed services intelligence judge cited past Darack is based on inquiry sourced from intelligence reports, including aeriform and eyewitness studies of the battleground after the fact, including the men sent in to rescue Luttrell, equally well as reports from Afghan intelligence.^{[49] [50] [51]}

The number of casualties sustained by the Taliban fighters has also been disputed. Naval Special Warfare Command has estimated that Luttrell and his teammates killed around thirty-five insurgents during the battle. Andrew MacMannis, a former Marine Colonel who was involved in planning Operation Ruby Wings and assisted in recovering bodies after the mission, has stated that there were no known enemy casualties. Mohammad Gulab, the Afghan villager who rescued Luttrell, agrees with MacMannis, as does another Marine who was involved with the mission, Patrick Kinser, who has said, "I've been at the location where [Luttrell] was ambushed multiple times. I've had Marines wounded there. I've been in enough firefights to know that when shit hits the fan, it's hard to know how many people are shooting at you lot. [But] there weren't 35 enemy fighters in all of the Korengal Valley [that day]." Furthermore, Gulab has claimed that he found Luttrell with eleven magazines of ammunition – the full amount that Luttrell had brought on the mission.^[52]

In the pic, the 4-man SEAL reconnaissance squad is discovered by three caprine animal herders—an elderly man and ii teenage boys. In fact, Luttrell wrote in his book that only one of the goat herders was a teenage boy, not two.^[53] Luttrell's book and the film both suggest that the SEALs decision to release the goat herders led to their subsequent deadfall - notwithstanding according to Gulab, people throughout the surface area heard the SEALs beingness dropped off past helicopter, and the Taliban proceeded to runway the SEALs' footprints. Other villagers recounted to Gulab that the Taliban found the SEALs while the debate over the goat herders was taking place and that the Taliban and so waited for a more opportune time to attack.^[52]

The motion picture shows Luttrell (Wahlberg) beingness able to walk afterward the Taliban's ambush on the iv-human SEAL team. In reality, Luttrell explained that his legs were numb immediately subsequently the ambush, and when feeling did return to them, the pain from the shrapnel in his legs fabricated it too painful to walk; he had to crawl vii miles looking for water and sanctuary.^{[45] [54]} Luttrell besides said that he did not witness the MH-47 Chinook helicopter being shot down, every bit seen in the film.^[45] At the end of the film, the Pashtun villagers fight off a Taliban assail in a firefight that never actually happened. In reality, the Taliban fighters were outnumbered by the villagers and had no intentions of attacking the village. They did, all the same, enter the room where Luttrell was being kept and physically beat him, earlier being pressured to leave past the village elderberry. Luttrell as well did not get into cardiac arrest after he was rescued, nor was he nearly death, as seen in the film.^[46]

In his book, Luttrell claims that Ahmad Shah was "one of Osama bin Laden'due south closest assembly".^[46] The picture show's production notes add together to this error, calling Shah "a high-level al Qaeda operative".^[46] Shah was not actually a member of al Qaeda, nor did he know bin Laden. Rather, Shah was a local militia leader with ties to the Taliban.^{[46] [52]} In the pic, Shah is said to have killed twenty Marines in the week before Operation Red Wings. Although Shah did in fact participate in multiple attacks against U.S. forces prior to the events of Lonely Survivor, there is no evidence to suggest that he had been responsible for the deaths of any American service members. Only five Marines had died in combat in the entire war up to that point, and only 2 U.Due south. service-members were killed in Kunar Province in the months leading upwardly to Performance Reddish Wings.^{[46] [55]}

Release [edit]

Strategy [edit]

Berg beginning screened Lone Survivor to a number of professional person American football teams to generate a strong discussion of oral cavity for the motion-picture show. He expressed that the screenings were non a marketing ploy, explaining that it was "but a cool thing to do."^[56] Lonely Survivor was screened to the Dallas Cowboys,^[57] Denver Broncos,^[58] Carolina Panthers, and Cleveland Browns also as the University of Alabama Crimson Tide football team.^[59] The motion picture received a generally positive response from several football players who took to social media to praise the movie.^[56] A gala premiere screening of Lone Survivor was held during the AFI Film Festival at the TCL Chinese Theatre on November 12, 2013.^[60] Lone Survivor held its scarlet carpet premiere on Dec 3, 2013, at the Ziegfeld Theatre in New York Urban center, where the film received a standing ovation.

Reception [edit]

Critical response [edit]

The defining trait of Alone Survivor—with respect to both its characters and Mr. Berg'south arroyo to them—is professionalism. Information technology is a small-scale, competent, effective movie, concerned above all with doing the job of explaining how the task was done.

—A. O. Scott of The New York Times ^[86]

Review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes sampled 227 reviews and gave the picture show an approval rating of 75%, with an average score of 6.60/10. The website's critical consensus reads, "A truthful account of armed forces courage and survival, Alone Survivor wields enough visceral power to mitigate its heavy-handed jingoism."^[87] Another review aggregator, Metacritic, assigned the film a weighted boilerplate score of threescore out of 100, based on 44 reviews from mainstream critics, indicating to be "mixed or average reviews".^[88] CinemaScore polls conducted during Lonely Survivor 's opening weekend of broad release reported that male and female person audiences gave the picture show a rare "A+" (on an A+ to F scale),^[89] with exit polls showing that 57% of the audience was male, while 57% was at least xxx years of age or older.^[90] The Los Angeles Times reported the critics' consensus was that "the film succeeds in bringing the mission to life, although it avoids probing the deeper issues at mitt."^[91]

Justin Chang, writing for Diverseness magazine, gave the moving-picture show a positive review and called it "the most grueling and sustained American gainsay picture since Blackness Hawk Down, as well as a prime example of how impressive physical filmmaking can overcome even fundamental deficiencies in script and characterization."^[92] Alonso Duralde, writing for The Wrap, stated, "The film never makes a thousand argument about whether or non the war in Afghanistan is, per se, a mistake, but it does portray war itself as a disgusting folly. Berg sets upward the cathartic moments we're used to in movies like this, but so he pulls out the rug, reminding us that the cavalry doesn't always miraculously show up in fourth dimension to save the twenty-four hours."^[93] Todd McCarthy, writing for The Hollywood Reporter, described the film as being "rugged, skilled, relentless, determined, narrow-minded and focused, everything that a soldier must be when his life is on the line,"^[94] while Scott Bowles of USA Today called Lone Survivor "roughshod, unrelenting and ultimately moving."^[95] Leonard Maltin described the motion picture as "visceral", while praising Berg, the main actors, and the stunt performers for successfully reenacting the events of Functioning Reddish Wings. Maltin ended that the moving picture "is a tough motion picture but a rewarding one. Information technology's humbling to watch this dramatization of the sacrifices these men make, without hesitation. Peter Berg was determined to do justice to them, and he has succeeded."^[96] Betsy Sharkey, writing for The Los Angeles Times, praised the overall wait of the film: "The production and costume designers have paid a great deal of attending to the details, from the uniforms and tribal robes, to the bullet wounds and claret. Information technology certainly adds to the picture's verisimilitude."^[97]

Several reviewers criticized Lone Survivor for focusing more than on its action scenes than on characterization. In his review for The Star-Ledger, Stephen Whitty wrote, "This is the sort of bare-bones story that well served plenty of World War II movies in one case, and it would work hither, if Berg had the sense to develop these men as characters, first. Merely we don't really become to know whatsoever of them, or what they might bring personally to this life-or-death emergency."^[98] Rafer Guzman of Newsday wrote, "The picture show seems more than concerned with military-style activity than with telling us who these fallen heroes really were."^[99]

Ane of the film's strongest detractors was Time Out magazine's Keith Uhlich, who called the movie "state of war porn of the highest guild".^[100] Geoff Pevere wrote in his review for The Globe and Mail service, "The sensation of beingness pinned down and shot apart is and so harrowingly conveyed ... that one almost forgives the movie'south failure to exist quite every bit persuasive in well-nigh every other respect."^[101] While praising the picture show for its visuals and sound effects, also as Berg's atmospheric management, Kyle Smith of the New York Mail service gave Alone Survivor a mixed review. Smith concluded his review past describing it every bit "a movie most an irrelevant skirmish that concluded in nearly-total catastrophe, during a war we are not winning."^[102] Moving-picture show critic Steven Boone, writing for RogerEbert.com, compared the picture'south violence to that of Mel Gibson's 2004 film The Passion of the Christ: "What's in between amounts to The Passion of the Christ for U.S. servicemen: a bloody historic episode recounted mainly in images of hardy young men being ripped autonomously, at screeching volume. Though Berg's source textile isn't the New Testament, he frequently handles Navy SEAL Marcus Luttrell's business relationship ... with the thunderous reverence Mel Gibson brought to Christ's crucifixion and resurrection."^[103]
