Rumors about Mark Wahlberg retiring have started to rise, this may probably be one of his final movies.
This movie depicts a true story based on the 2005 failed navy seals operation " Red wings " in which a total of 18 seals were killed. The title already gives you a spoiler of how the movie will end..but knowing it's a true story, seems heartbreaking and tragic at the same time. The directors did a lot of research and 89 percent of the movie is accurate compared to reality, the seals training, their appearances etc. Although they did exaggerate the movie a bit. For example, at the end a shootout initates between the taliban members and the villagers which in reality did not happen because the villagers outnumbered the talibans. There's still on confirmation on whether there were really 50 taliban members, as in the movie. Even if you're a badass, watching this movie will leave your heart pounding watching the SEAL members in pain half the movie. The movie also makes you realize that not everyone's the same, there is both good and bad. Reffering to the Afghani villagers who sheltered and nursed Marcus. This film is as good as Saving Private Ryan and Black Hawk Down, definitely worth a watch.
