Lone Survivor (2013)

Another Peter Berg military might action flick, based loosely, I imagine, on actual events. Mark Wahlberg leads a band of Seals into enemy territory where they proceed to get the crap beat out of them. It’s bloody and violent. Not exactly an effective propaganda piece for obtaining new recruits. As a movie though, it works. Gripping stuff.

Rating: C+

Body Of Lies (2008)

A Syrianna-esque action/thriller that can be quite brutal at times. Involving the Jordanian Intelligence Agency was a good story device. DiCaprio is believable as a CIA operative. Locations and cinematography are what you'd expect from a Ridley Scott Film.

Rating: B-
