Lone Survivor (Movie, 2013)

The title kind of gives away the ending of this harrowing true story, which is worth a look despite its tendency to exaggerate the heroics. Peter Berg's screen version of Marcus Luttrell's book is remarkably good at dramatizing the notorious 2005 Navy SEAL operation that went horrifically bad. One of the most dramatically lean and excruciating combat films ever made. 

Although it starts off slow, there's plenty of action when it comes time. This was a movie that made you feel you were right in the middle of the battle. A bit hard to watch at times.
