I admit it, I'm a big-time fan of Mark Wahlberg. He's easily my favorite movie star at the moment. He plays Marcus Luttrell, one of a four-man Navy Seals team sent in for a mission against a camp in Afghanistan. While waiting to attack, they are discovered and make the mistake of letting the discoverers go. They warn the camp and the four Americans are soon under attack. What follows is an extremely tense, extended battle sequence. As the title implies, only one guy survives - that's not a spoiler - but how it happens is pretty darn remarkable. Based on a true story, this is a terrific movie. It kinda plays like an "Afghan version of Black Hawk Down" but with some twists. The cast is excellent, including a nice turn by Taylor Kitsch, one of my favorites from the Friday Night Lights TV show. Highly recommended - 9/10.
