Review of Restrepo (2010) by Andrew C — 23 Feb 2011

Fascinating footage where we actually get to see more realistically what it is like to be an American soldier in the war in Afghanistan. The only thing that keeps this from 5 stars for me is that, the through story isn't very well done.

I wish the beginning, middle and end were more well defined. There are a lot of scenes with no payoffs. So close to being one of the greatest documentaries ever, but without a through-line, it felt unorganized.
