Loved the book. It’s an amazing story! May just have to read it again prior to the movie. Just heard Beck say that Luttrell said it was accurate and that he threatened to kill anyone who screwed it up. ;)

Considering he and three other guys practically wiped out 200 taliban fighters by themselves I’d take that threat seriously.

I will also have to read his book again, couldn’t put it down the first time.

"It was a physically demanding movie," says the actor(Wahlberg), who shot Lone Survivor in the mountains of New Mexico, which doubled for the peaks of Sawtalo Sar and Gatigal Sar. "And we felt a lot of responsibility in making sure that we did Marcus and those guys some justice . . . .
"And Marcus was there, and a lot of the team guys, the SEALs guys that trained us, were there."

Sounds like Luttrell and other SEALs were onhand to make sure the movie is as accurate as possible. Definitely on my list of films to see in the new year.
