It does mate, but it's based on a true story, so if you know the events, you'll know the outcome.

It's a very good film.

does Mark Wahlberg nearly get kills loads of time but due to brute force, determination and strokes of almost unbelievable good fortune survive and become the hero?

Has anyone seen "The Good Neighbor"?

One of the best movies I've seen all year.

Every now and again a film comes along that surprises you, this is one of them.

Watched it last night on Film4 fully expecting a standard Muslim bashing stereotypical action film about US Marines in Afghanistan. Wrong.

Based on a true story of a small unit of US Navy Seals sent to kill a notorious Taliban leader in the Afghan mountains, that goes horribly wrong leaving only one survivor - Mark Wahlberg. ( who had a big input into the film ).

Superb film, bordering on " anti war " and the last quarter of the film when he is found dying, taken in, saved and sheltered by an Afghani villager, despite the knowledge that the Taliban will torture and wipe out the whole village if he is found is truly moving.

At the end they ran through personal photos of the soldiers and their families, plus photos of the Afghani villager being reunited with the soldier he saved, which had me in tears.

Fantastic film and it'll be on Film4 again, as they always repeat them.

I started watching that but fell asleep. That's not a comment on the film by the way!

Hope they repeat it at some point.

No mate, he survives because of the Afghani man and his son who find him and take him in.

Watched Lake Placid at the weekend
Good old yarn and very funny
Brendan Gleeson is excellent and the crocodile is cool!

Currently watching London Has Fallen with my elderly Mum who appears to have developed a taste in action movies. She seems to be enjoying it. I think it's garbage.

Free state of Jones

Found something's out I never knew

Good film

Looking forward to seeing that.

Let me know what you think

Thought it was excellent, really interesting story and central character, great performance from Matthew McConaughey and great cinematography. Going to give it a couple of weeks and watch again on Kodi .
Bit odd being the only one in the pictures at 10.00 this morning though.
