Gah. This movie made me cry so much. It's too heart-breaking.
Warning spoilers ahead. Anyway the movie title itself is a pretty big spoiler- you know only one person survivors from it right? xD
The movie opens with a scene of violent scene of someone getting beheaded for helping an American. And then flashes back to a few days prior.
A team of four was sent to apprehend/kill a Taliban leader responsible for having killed many Navy Seals. However, they were out of luck when they're spotted by an old man, a teenager and a child who are shepherds. Then they were faced with the moral/ethical dilemma of killing them so that they won't be comprised (dead men won't tell of their locations) or sparing them since they're unarmed civilians.
And so, since then they have to live with their choice (but sadly, only one got to literally live the choice) :(
I was very very very upset with the deaths of the other three. Their comradeship was really touching. It's really like a series of unfortunate events unfolding ever since that decision was made to kill/spare the shepherds.
The movie ends on a good note (the lone survivor was rescued). But technically it wasn't a good note since we know from the start of the movie that the man who helped him would be killed later by the Talibans.
Sigh.
And knowing that this was based on a true event just multiplied my emotions by x1000000000000000 .
