I'm pretty sure he got to have input in to the movie and wondered how good a job he felt the producers/actors did. Looks like he's pleased.

After reading the book a year or two ago, I’ve been waiting for this movie, and I never go to the movies.

I was wondering what kind of movie this would be. Don’t want to go see it if its just another of Hollywierd’s anti-American productions.

Rule #1 when you are compromised on a mission. Immediate exfil

Rule #2 when comms fail. Immediate exfil

When 300 terrorists are hunting you down and you have no QRF, air support or exfil plan - see rule#1 and rule#2.

Glad to hear this directly from Marcus Luttrell. Loved the book and I thought the movie was true to it ever since I saw the Official Trailer to Lone Survivor.

When is this movie going to be released? I ususally wait til a movie is available on demand via cable, but this looks like a worthwhile exception.

I just bought the book from iTunes/iBooks for $3.99. Reading it on my iPad now and planning on going to the movie next weekend! Lutrell is on the Beck show right now.

Murphy deserved his MOH and Luttrell has done the memory of his brothers well. I've read the book a couple of times and look forward to seeing a movie made as close to the real thing as possibly could be done.

Great movie.

Watch for Marcus in a cameo role. Several instances.

Speaking lines and all.

Saw the movie tonight. It was an awesome movie that everyone (except younger kids due to violence and cursing) should see to get an idea of what our soldiers go through. The ROE need to be reviewed and we need to come up with better comms for our people. To those who did or are serving, thank you for your service.

When Marcus was having difficulties adjusting after his return, and some punk shot his dog, Govenor Rick Perry brought him to his ranch and gave him a place to stay and recover away from the press.
