Lone Survivor
11:15pm, Sky Movies Action
You're never quite sure what you're going to get from Peter Berg - a director whose CV ranges from the rip-roaring silliness of Battleship to sublime sports film Friday Night Lights. Lone Survivor, however, belongs in the company of the latter, mixing edge-of-the-seat tension with the power of friendship and the terror and horror of war. Based on Marcus Luttrell's best-selling memoir of the same name, it tells the story of Operation Red Wings, a disastrous mission involving US Navy SEALS in Afghanistan's Kundar province in 2005, which saw 19 American personnel killed. Luttrell (Mark Wahlberg, leading a great cast) and comrades Michael Murphy (Taylor Kitsch), Matthew 'Axe' Axelson (Ben Foster) and Danny Dietz (Emile Hirsch) were the advance reconnaissance team, sent in to pinpoint the location of a Taliban leader. Geography and bad luck combined to ensure that the operation became cursed very quickly. What follows is as shocking as it is heart-rending.
