Talking about the action sequences of "The Lone Survivor", Rob Carnevale of The List had this to say "Berg's direction is super intense, especially during the prolonged fire-fights in the mountains - sequences which will likely leave viewers feeling as bruised, breathless and scared as the soldiers themselves."
Talking about the acting of lead actor Mark Wahlberg, Michael Phillips of the Chicago Tribune said "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."
