Review of Restrepo (2010) by Darkknightv — 18 Dec 2010
What I appreciated most about this film is how much of it was just showing the soldiers doing their thing in the Korengal, a dangerous valley outpost in Afghanistan. The camera was either on the soldiers out in the field, or it was on a solider in a one-on-one interview after the end of the deployment.
There was no long discussion giving context or setting the stage, no footage of media coverage or interviews with third parties. I'm no expert on documentaries, but I thought this was the most valuable aspect of the film: you get to actually see what happened.
