Restrepo

2010 documentary

Rating: 16/20

Plot: Soldiers doing soldiery things in Afghanistan.

The filming of this doesn't seem like it would have been all that safe.

I must have gone numb. I kept making the mistake of thinking this was some well-choreographed piece of war fiction instead of something that was real. It's a harrowing experience.

My favorite bit was during a meeting between the soldiers and some of the locals where one of the men was trying to get a straw in a Capri Sun.
