Watch this if you liked: “Lone Survivor”

The Good, the Bad and the True Strength:

• A poignant portrait of heroism in an almost perfectly accurate depiction of one of the most harrowing and heart-breaking tragedies.

• The film is also a humble and heartfelt tribute to the real-life heroes behind the tragic incident, and it celebrates the community's courage in the face of adversity.

• Mark Wahlberg delivers his usual style of acting - behaving like a true American with his strong Boston accent and providing some comic relief moments while being very serious at the same time.

• The film is a bit lacking compared to Berg-Wahlberg's previous collaboration, "Lone Survivor", but it does stand out in terms of its accuracy, realism, and attention to detail.

Trivia:

• This is the third time Mark Wahlberg has collaborated with director Peter Berg. Their previous collaborations were also based on true events.
