	Author	Review
United States	Todd McCarthy The Hollywood Reporter	"The film is rugged, skilled, relentless, determined, narrow-minded and focused, everything that a soldier must be when his life is on the line."	POS
United States	Justin Chang Variety	"Berg’s blunt, pummeling style offers few nuances and makes no apologies, but his broad brushstrokes have clearly found an ideal canvas in this grimly heroic rendering of hell on earth."	POS
United States	Scott Bowles USA Today	"The story is nothing short of miraculous. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Eric Kohn IndieWire	"Without delving much into the paradoxes of modern warfare, 'Lone Survivor' embodies them."	POS
United States	Keith Uhlich Time Out	"Berg may be adhering to the basic facts, but his movie's childish machismo is a disgrace to all involved. (...) Rating: ★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United States	A. O. Scott The New York Times	"It is a modest, competent, effective movie."	POS
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"Like the best war movies, 'Lone Survivor' laces action with moral questions that haunt and provoke. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Michael Phillips Chicago Tribune	"Wahlberg remains one of our most reliable and least actorly of movie stars, innately macho but vulnerable enough to seem like a human being caught in an inhuman situation. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
