2005. június 28-án, a "Vörös Szárny" fedőnevű akció keretében a tengerészgyalogság négy kommandósát, titkos akcióba küldik Afganisztán Hindu Kush régiójába, hogy kiiktassák a hírhedt tálib Ahmad Shah parancsnokot. Az küldetés azonban balul sül el, amikor a tálibok rajtuk ütnek a hegyekben, elvágva a csapatot a segítségtől. A magára maradt csapat elszigetelve, ellenséggel körülvéve azzal szembesül, hogy csak magukra és egymásra számíthatnak, ha élve ki akarnak jutni az ellenség szorításából. A túlerővel szemben az esélyük minimális, mégis megkísérlik a lehetetlent. (Cinetel)

Az intro OK. A film középső, leghosszabb, túlélési játékideje megragadó, vizuálisan áttekintően és hatásosan feldolgozva, nem egy dermesztően durva jelenettel. A finálé politikailag elmosolyogtató leegyszerűsítő propaganda az átlagos amerikai néző számára. Mindent egybevetve, jó szórakozás, amely olyan gyorsan beporosodik, mint az összes Berg alkotása.

Peter Berg knows how to shoot a proper action movie for men who leave their handkerchiefs at home and go watch a real shootout. However, in this movie, he portrayed one real story, which he filmed in an absolutely unlikely way. It is so unrealistic that it is striking even for me. And I’m usually not that hard to please. It’s unbelievable what the guys survived. The height from which they fell, the number of bullets they dodged and the number of bullets in their body with which they managed to hobble away. Incredible. Despite the fact that the whole way up the hill was stretched in a really stupid way. It’s a real pity that it was so stupid, because everything else was working. Including the amazing expressive music from Explosions in the Sky as well as the Navy Seals unit full of tough guys.

I suspect an agitational order from the Department of Defense selling one of its "based on a true story" films. I do not deny the power of the plot, nor the willingness to bow before the fallen and salute the bereaved. From the middle onwards, I was just terribly annoyed by Berg's direction, which pushes pathos out of the screen (in slow-mo so long that it borders on parody), gradually losing contact with the protagonists, who become nothing more than bodies falling from rocks, covered in bloody welts. The first contact, without music and with a "predator" camera, is flawless, but I simply don't think the constant subjective close-ups of faces create the right action military drama. In the final act, I felt ashamed for the creators. It’s only functional as an acted intermezzo for "Medal of Honor."

A not very sophisticated war movie that disgusted me in the first half with the awful black and white view of the world by the Americans, for whom anyone wearing a turban is a dangerous enemy. Fortunately, things get better in the third act, which gets its feet back on the ground in this regard. Even with all the whistling, the survival-combat part was pretty good fun.

Following Gravity and All Is Lost (and, to some extent, Captain Phillips), Lone Survivor is another high-contact fight for survival, placing vicarious experience over a complicated plot. Instead of examining the film’s content, it suffices to read the title. With the exception of the introductory panoramas of the picturesque Afghan landscape (which can be understood as part of an effort to not demonise the whole country, but only the Taliban…though the film was shot in New Mexico), Berg relies predominantly on point-of-view shots and close-ups. The camera’s close proximity to the characters occasionally results in a lack of clarity, though it also adds an unpleasant veracity. The impression of rawness is aided by the film’s R rating, thanks to which we can “enjoy” every shot-off finger and every bone-breaking impact on a rock. The film’s long, superbly intensified action core with minimum pathos is unfortunately put in a context that is not very sophisticated. After a broad introduction, the members of the team blend together, the Taliban are evil because they cut off heads, and any indication of the current American military’s inadequacies is quickly suppressed (the unpleasant hazing of a new recruit rapidly transmutes into an inspiring rhyme). In contrast to what we have witnessed (a fatally botched mission) and what in places had a refreshing tinge of ambivalence (the argument about what to do with a captured enemy combatant), the film ends with the cheap pre-credits glorification of the soldiers involved. – SPOILER: With most of them, it’s impossible to avoid the not-insignificant feeling that we are supposed to consider them heroes simply because they didn’t die. END SPOILER – After All is Lost, where I was bothered by the lack of value added, I wouldn’t have expected that I would write this, but this time I would have preferred a pure survival flick without any information aimed at bringing depth to the story. 65%
