Good Find! That movie looks excellent!

Read the book, it was great. Movie will probably only disappoint me.

Whenever I hear someone rant about all the merciless killing of innocent civilians that the US military does, I always encourage them to read that book.

They at least got the gun he carried right

The book was excellent; riveting... hope I enjoy the movie.

Ranger buddies of mine seem to disagree with Luttrell's version. I did like the book, apparently they did not.

 

[TheDude]

That looks tough. Wahlberg seems to do these movies effortlessly.

 

[Hoosier Cowboy]

Great story and Wahlberg is perfect fit for the role!

 

[Fordtough25]

Looks great, can't wait to see this as well. Thanks for the preview OP!

Marky Mark is a Hollywood anti-gun douchebag. But I'll probably go see the movie. Even though his role as Bob Lee Swagger didn't come close to living up to the book "Shooter" was based on.

Mark Wahlberg: “I believe Charlton Heston is America’s best villain because he loves guns so much. Maybe he should get the award for being president of the National Rifle Association.” But his anti-gun attitude didn’t stop there. “Well, I would love it if they could take all the guns away. Unfortunately, you can’t do that so you hope that good people in the world have them to protect the people who can’t protect themselves,” “Certainly, I haven’t used a gun anywhere other than on a movie set and I’d like to see if we could take them all away. It would be a beautiful thing.”

Just finished watching a screener copy. Considering all the crap that comes from Hollywood, it was a good flick. I didn't read the book so I can't compare the two. I give it 4/5.

Thanks,
I will spend my hard earned money elsewhere.

There's some people that suprised me on both ends on that list. Thanks for sharing.

Enjoyed the book during my deployments reading it often. Will see the movie as it benefits survivors of the special operations community. If I refuse to go see movies because of the stars views, I'd never see any. I DO pick and choose though. Some actors just suck no matter what they are in. Lions for Lambs was a GREAT film even though it had some of the most leftist actors out there for example.

Read the book, excellent read. Will definitely see the movie. My personal opinion they should have kept the goat-kid or disabled him. Turning him loose was suicide.

I thought most frogmen were tall, or else how to you survive holding up the log all night in that cold surf?

The book is one of the best I've read in a long time. Also, if you go on HBO go they have a behind the scenes on the making of the movie. Marcus Lutrell is involved in almost all of the pre production stuff to make sure it is accurate and factual to the true events. This is going to be a baby sitter movie and that only happens about twice a year.

Doesn't your wife get mad when you take your babysitter to a movie?

I am waiting for the DVD. Silence of the Lambs is about the only movie that I have ever seen that came close to being as good as the book. And I would credit that solely to Anthony Hopkins. Marky Mark ain't no Anthony Hopkins.
