Lone-Survivor-movie-Wahlberg-Foster-Hirsch-Kitsch

Wait a minute!  Does the title of this movie give away the ending? Mark Wahlberg stars in LONE SURVIVOR, and in the new movie preview, he’s one of four Navy SEALS fighting to stay alive in Afghanistan. Watch the new trailer and movie one-sheet for the movie based on a true story.

There’s a lot of facial hair in LONE SURVIVOR with Mark Wahlberg, Taylor Kitsch, Emile Hirsch, Ben Foster and Eric Bana covering their hunky faces with scruffy beards. Based on the failed 2005 Navy SEALS mission “Operation Red Wings,’ SEAL Team 10 goes into Taliban controlled Afghanistan to kill a Taliban leader, but they are immediately compromised and under attack. The story centers on the one Navy Seal who survived, hence the title, LONE SURVIVOR.  One look at the newly released LONE SURIVIVOR movie poster gives away the identity of who is that lone survivor.

Directed by Peter Berg (Battleship, Hancock), is LONE SURVIVOR being touted as Oscar worthy given its platform release? LONE SURVIVOR opens in limited engagement run starting December 27, 2013 and opening wider January 10, 2014. Could it be this year's Zero Dark Thirty?
