Movie Haiku:Wahlberg stars as Marcus Luttrell, a real-life Navy SEAL who wrote the memoir on which this film is based. Luttrell lost 3 SEAL comrades in a firefight in the mountains of Afghanistan. He was rescued by an local villager (played here by Suliman) who was able to sustain him & contact the USA command for airlift. Intense evocation of men bonding in battle.
