Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
anoran247 A view on the people fighting the stupidest war. Seems like half of them are there just to kill and get their adrenaline, and maybe some live in some delusion where they think they are doing something good. It was itresting to watch and not a bad movie, just paining to see theese people treating the locals unrespectfully, killing civilians and laughing about killing.
Darren Shadix I was a member of Battle company during this deployment. They gave us a helluva fight. "Restrepo" and should be an eye-opener for anyone curious about what guys go through in Afghanistan. My only complaint is I wish there was more action in it. Be sure to check out "Korengal" as well. I recently just published and e-book about it (available on Kindle, Nook, Kobo & Smashwords) entitled "To Quell The Korengal" if anyone is interested in reading more about this.www.amazon.com/Quell-Korengal-Darren-Shadix- ebook/dp/B0197IIPVQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1449888085&sr=8- 1&keywords=to+quell+the+korengal
Colton Fisher This was a great documentary. It is one of my favorites because they use all real footage for it. There are some pretty sad parts but that comes with a lot of these films. I also think the way they put this footage together was great. It's hard to see what these guys have to go through. But it makes us really appreciate them and what they are doing for us. I really like how its quality footage and not all junk. I also like how they interviewed the troops to see what they had to say about the situation. It just made it all come together into a great watch. I would recommend this to anyone who likes documentary's on the war. I really enjoy this movie so I gave it an 8.
jdjerich The film as itself is very good. It contains scenes of actual fighting, which are not so often seen in documentaries. On the other hand, as a viewer one must start thinking about the conflict the film depicts. When you look at "the Dead cow scene", this is where the flow of my mind goes the other way. At first, I had sympathy for the soldiers in this film. Afterwards, when you see how they laugh at the man whose cow they have killed, and offer him "beans, rice and flour in the weight of the dead cow" as a compensation... Then you start thinking on what are those people looking for in Afghanistan, why are they not at home in the US? A very strong sentiment of rage goes through your body after wards.
