Review of Restrepo (2010) by Simon D — 29 Jan 2011

A pretty interesting documentary following a group of soldiers posted to Afghanistan. This is the first time I've seen footage of true events out there. As a movie, it's not bad, good scenery and the bravery that went into making it should not be underestimated but if I were to be synical then I would say that the contrast between the sober and morose testimonies given from back home and the same people wrestling, whooping and hollering, and partying to Samantha Fox is a bit hard to swallow.
