This movie is a great insight into a man who gave so much for his fellow SEALs and his countrymen. It shows the sacrifices and hardships that he went through to ear the right to wear the golden Trident that a select few can accomplish. If you know the real back story of why these men were there doing a recognizance mission to capture a man who was butchering soldiers as well as his fellow Afghanis then you know these men are all heroes. The movie gave you a great insight into the type of person he was from the words of family and friends. Sadly some review without knowing anything on the actual topic at hand. Highly recommend it to anyone. There is also a book written about him that if you enjoy the movie you would enjoy the book as well. It also conveys the heroic acts that are talked about in the movie.

Murph: The Protector is a summary of what is good about America. While the movie is about one man, one family, and one set of friends, it exemplifies the ethic that made our Country great! Through Murph, we see the selfless dedication to something that is larger than ourselves. We see Brotherhood exemplified and see demonstrated the value of Family being the most important fabric of our great nation. In a time of "oneupmanship", Murph keeps it real. No action, no gore, just simple love, friendship, and sacrifice for what is right and good. Murph is about valuing human life (as displayed by holding, then releasing the shepherds-noncombatants at the Team's own risk). The film also shows the value of a support system at home.I took my family to see this movie, including my 12 year old daughter, mostly to honor a man. But also to show that perseverance, dedication, and servitude are characteristics that should be held in high regard by every person in the US. If we showed more of Murph's ethic in our daily lives, we would all be better for it. God Bless the Murphy family.

Excellent tribute to a true American hero. I would recommend this movie to anyone who has or would like to see Lone Survivor. It's a great compliment to that movie and vice versa. Lt. Murphy was a true American hero and an example to what every Infantryman should be (Yes, I understand he was a SEAL but he's still an Infantryman in my book.) Truly a selfless man who cared more about his team, his Country, and his mission above himself. This movie gives you an insight to the man that Lt. Murphy really was. To all the people who are writing reviews criticizing the war, this movie is not about the war. It's about the man Lt. Murphy was. Whatever your feelings are toward the war, You should still respect the men and women who sacrifice themselves for their country.

This documentary should serve as a source of encouragement to others who are contemplating honoring our heroes in a similar way. Executive Producer Scott Mactavish brought together those who knew LT Michael Murphy best and allowed them to tell you the type of individual he was. The documentary expands and builds upon LT Murphy biography, SEAL of Honor: Operation Red Wings and the Life of LT Michael P. Murphy, USN by allowing viewers to see and feel the emotion from those who appear on camera as well as those who were unknown or unavailable when the biography was written. Suitable for viewers of all ages, it is an excellent feature documentary that is not only appropriate, but recommended for young people trying to navigate their way through our modern culture's peer pressure.
