Anything in life worth doing is worth overdoing

One of the greatest combat movies no doubt. Peter Berg's Lone Survivor (2007) is a biographical war film set during the war in Afghanistan and where Navy SEALs are tracking down a Taliban leader (Operation Red Wings). The sheer brutality and horror of warfare is depicted so well that it's almost painful to watch. And when the end credits roll, it's harrowing to realize it's a true story you just witnessed.
