Hi All

Lone Survivor is released here in NZ at the end of Feb:
Is it any good?
How does it rate against BLACK HAWK DOWN?

Thanks

Chris

Hi,

I found both movies to be Very Good. In my opinion Black Hawk Down was the better of the two.

Both great movies, but I don't think you can compare the two. Battle of Mogadishu was a combined operation using Delta operators and Army Rangers in a coordinated op, whereas Lone Survivor shows a 4-man SEAL team on a recon mission get compromised. Both top notch flicks
