There's no shortage of good stories. Vietnam - Thornton and Norris, maybe a tragedy about Kerrey...Maybe just a simple narrative about an enlisted from Bud/s to Iraq/Afghanistan and back home.
I know they're making a movie based on Lone Survivor, but Luttrell's story seems so ready-made for Hollywood. I want something that's honest and not glamorized. Luttrell's book disgusted me at parts.
They do deserve a good movie but this was not it.
Its that man again!!

Navy Seals is not exactly oscar material but it's great fun, if it was made these days it would be miles worse.
shareI'm still waiting for a movie version of "Without Remorse". Wouldn't be a traditional "SEALs"-movie (more of a 70s/80s revenge-flick), but IIRC Kelly/Clark (the protagonist) was a SEAL.
S.
I like to see a Without Remorse film although elements of the books might be familiar in other films such as American Gangster and even Death Wish.

I forgot about that Jack Ryan spin-off novel, really good story, enjoyed the book. I think it could make a really good film.
Although a bit too much Jack Reacher but i am not sure anyone would notice, would be interesting being they are rebooting the Jack Ryan movies, although i think they could do those period and be fine.
may be hard to redo stuff like Red Rabbit in today's world.
