Lone Survivor
Peter Berg’s hit film about a SEAL team mission in Afghanistan that went catastrophically wrong isn’t concerned so much with character as it is with the endurance and devastation of the human body in combat. As Marcus Luttrell, Mark Wahlberg is appropriately strong and chummy throughout but maintains an edge of quiet observation necessary to survive. In the film’s later scenes, as his wounded character gets more and more desperate, Wahlberg portrays a phenomenal level of anxiety and fear in a sincere, yet stunningly physical performance.
