Anyone watched that French film 'The Connection' on Netflix? Looks good but wanted to get a consensus of opinion.

I thought it was very good. Actually even better than The French Connection...which it is about. I watched it after watching a couple of documentaries on YouTube about the mafia importing the drugs as well, which made it even better.

Every now and again a film comes along that surprises you, this is one of them.

Watched it last night on Film4 fully expecting a standard Muslim bashing stereotypical action film about US Marines in Afghanistan. Wrong.

Based on a true story of a small unit of US Navy Seals sent to kill a notorious Taliban leader in the Afghan mountains, that goes horribly wrong leaving only one survivor - Mark Wahlberg. ( who had a big input into the film ).

Superb film, bordering on " anti war " and the last quarter of the film when he is found dying, taken in, saved and sheltered by an Afghani villager, despite the knowledge that the Taliban will torture and wipe out the whole village if he is found is truly moving.

At the end they ran through personal photos of the soldiers and their families, plus photos of the Afghani villager being reunited with the soldier he saved, which had me in tears.

Fantastic film and it'll be on Film4 again, as they always repeat them.

one question.....does it not ruin the movie that it is called lone survivor and has Wahlberg on the poster? Therefore implies who the lone survivor is going to be?

It does mate, but it's based on a true story, so if you know the events, you'll know the outcome.

It's a very good film.
