Review of Restrepo (2010) by Joe L — 01 Feb 2011
Restrepo is a movie that I'll always be quite split on. From a documentary standpoint, it's virtually flawless, and quite impressive. The problem I guess I really had with it was that it didn't show us anything about Afghanistan that we didn't know before.
It does aim to show us a connection these men have with Doc Restrepo, but that plays second fiddle to the experiences of the platoon. If it would have focused completely on one thing, I think this would have been a much more powerful film.
