I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

One of the worst movies I've ever seen

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Boring, monotonous and mediocre with endless drivel. Get ready for over an hour of sheer ass kissing and hero worship! American propaganda and BS at its best! I have no doubt that Murphy is a brave guy, but this so called "Documentary" is absolutely ridiculous, and sets a new standard for cheap and trashy hero worship! Seriously, according to this film Murphy was a saint who could walk on water! This Doco makes Captain America look like a pussy! I respect the guy and the sacrifices he made, but there is only so much cheesy and overt trash i can stand! No doubt most redneck Americans will love this rubbish, but for the rest of us people, i suggest you give it a miss. Or keep a vomit bucket handy. Enjoy!

Of course there is going to be a tendency to rate a documentary about a fallen war hero highly, but this one is mediocre. It focuses mostly on trivial details of Murphy's childhood as told by family and friends, but there is not much material covering the last years of his adult life. True, most people don't live documented lives, and he worked in the shadows, but we don't hear from his fiancée or even Mr. "Lone Survivor" Luttrell. Several times the filmmaker juxtaposes individual interviews of Murphy's father and mother telling the same story in almost the same words, which might be cute once, but later becomes annoying. Wow, they are a married couple who have told the story several times together before, but we really don't need to hear it twice! The most interesting part was finding out that Murphy's suburban lawyer dad is himself a survivor of a hellish combat experience. The director's worst decision was to intersperse scenes of a random doctor and his parents throughout the the documentary without context. Though it may seem like there is going to be a reveal about how he treated Murphy or some momentous way in which their destinies crossed, it turns out he just received a scholarship in Murhpy's name. Nobody cares about this doctor at all, and it's silly to use a scholarship as proof that "something good came out of it"

I've seen Lone Survivor. I've read the book. We basically got the gist of what happened up on that mountain and Operation Red Wings.But what we didn't know was who Michael Murphy was. Where he grew up,what type of person he was. I really enjoyed hearing the stories and seeing the man behind the cameo. I enjoyed hearing what he was about and what he stood for in every day life. Not just war. This movie wasn't about politics or war. It was a beautiful story of a young man with such promise and hope who left the world too soon.I highly recommend to anyone who is interested in hearing about a true American hero.

As a sister to a soldier whose deployed numerous times I see the person a soldier is at home not just the warrior. This movie really shows who the men and women are fighting for our freedom. spotlights a true hero...not an athlete. We need more people like Murph in the world. He wasn't just a great Seal but a great man and person. This movie shows that. It also shows what families go through and let me tell you its not easy. This is an amazing film I highly recommend it. This is something that will make you cry and make you laugh. It will inspire you to be a better person and make you want to stand up and fight for your country your community your family. Best documentary I've seen.
