ReelViews James Berardinelli Most war films try to be epic in scope and intent. Lone Survivor opts for a smaller focus and succeeds on its own terms. | 15 | |
Rolling Stone Peter Travers Like the best war movies, Lone Survivor laces action with moral questions that haunt and provoke. | 15 | |
ScreenIt C. Fuchs When the ending finally arrived and a series of pics featuring the real life men appeared on screen, I lost it emotionally, not only due to what I had just seen portrayed as fiction, but also from being reminded of the reality and real people behind all of that. | 12 | |

Rottentomatoes tomatometer Tomatometer While it may deliver its messages of patriotism, courage, and sacrifice a tad heavy-handedly, Lone Survivor finds writer/director Peter Berg wielding enough visceral power to mitigate many of his movie's jingoistic flaws. | 15 | |
