The book was impossible to put down. Going see the film tonight, hope it compares. Im not going to lie, I was disappointed that Walhberg was going to playing Lutrell, but after watching a few trailers and interviews, it seems like he put his heart into the role and showed true respect.

I think I will read the book first Or should I see the movie and then read the book? I just want to see it now


Bama, read the book first. Per interviews I heard with Mr. Lutrell the book is the actual debriefing he gave after he was recovered. I heard the movie has a few different scenes to it but overall it was awesome. Im headed to see it tonight.

This. I read the whole thing in 1 day like I was cramming for a book test in high school.

I too was skeptical of Marky Mark filling the role of Luttrell since he is like 5 foot something and Marcus is 6'3" or 4". However, I have heard that he was good to go with him and was on set quite a bit along with other SEALS to make sure they didn't frick this movie up.

Same here. I like Wahlberg, but they talked about Lutrell's height several times in the book (I think he was 6'5") so I thought it was odd they selected Wahlberg.
